'The above portrait appeared in the Wheeling Register on Sunday February 3rd, 1895. If it is a copy of a true portrait made of Jackson as a cadet it is the earliest known picture in existence. Examination and other evidence indicate however, that it is simply a pen sketch made from the Mexico City portrait.; This appeared along with a copy of the 1862 Winchester portrait; a picture of his birthplace in Clarksburg; the stone marking the spot where he fell at Chancellorsville; and the house in which he died at Guinea Station.; The article is captioned "Personal Recollections of 'Stonewall' Jackson" and is by John G. Gittings, late adjutant of the 31st. Virginia Infantry, and Major of Confederate Cavalry. The text is the same as appears in the sketches by the same writer.'
