- With the winter, Stonewall Jackson comes back to Virginia, his purpose being to hold inoperative the Federal army encamped in the Valley, until Lee can make certain movements. Jackson goes into camp a few miles from the Federal forces. With Jackson are Colonel Bradley and Captains Robert Randolph and Roderick Hilton, father and suitors to Louise Bradley. Louise clearly shows that Robert has her heart, and Roderick is filled with jealousy. His sense of honor stifled, Roderick resorts to a miserable trick which causes Louise, almost broken-hearted, to turn from Robert in disgust. For some time the Valley has been almost at the mercy of a savage guerrilla band, headed by one Quetrell. This ruffian, attempted to steal Louise's pet horse, encounters the girl, who is saved from his brutal advances by her father, who is at home on leave. For the thrashing which Colonel Bradley causes to be administered, Quetrell swears vengeance, not satisfied with having seriously wounded the Colonel. That night the Bradley home is attacked by the guerrillas. Colonel Bradley is mortally wounded, the house is left in flames, and Louise carried off to the guerrilla camp. Bill, a faithful servant, saves his master and mistress from the flames, and then traces the guerrillas to their hiding place. Next he hurries to the Confederate camp with the news of the outrage and of Louise's peril. Both Robert and Roderick beg to be allowed to go to her rescue, but Jackson, facing an enemy of overwhelming numbers who may attack at any moment, and knowing how disastrous to the Southern cause would be his defeat at this time, will not permit any detachment to be withdrawn. Robert though tortured by his inactivity, sees no course open to him. Roderick, however, resolves on a daring expedient, and steals away from the camp, dressed in the uniform of a Union colonel, and carrying a forged order to the Union commander, which procures for him the command of a troop of Union cavalry. With this force Roderick attacks the guerrilla camp, wipes out the band, and rescues Louise, whom he causes to be returned to the cabin in which her mother has found shelter. Roderick succeeds in separating himself from the Union troops without being recognized by Louise, but in attempting to re-enter the Confederate camp he is captured. He is placed under arrest and soon tried by court-martial for disobedience of orders and being absent from his command, in the face of the enemy. He is found guilty, and the sentence is formal reduction to the ranks. The Federal army breaks camp, makes a short march, and bivouacs about the cabin where Louise and her mother have found shelter. Louise learns that the plan is to attack Jackson at dawn the next day, and carries the news to the Confederate camp. Jackson at once abandons his camp and marches away into the mountains from whence he came, and scouts bring to the Union commander the news that Jackson has not dared accept battle, but is in full flight, that none of the enemy remain in the Valley of Virginia. The Union army lies down to sleep with a feeling of perfect security. Meanwhile the terrible forced march of Jackson's army through the mountains continues; the men are half starved and frozen, the horses are exhausted, the men struggle desperately to drag their artillery through the mud and snow, up the mountain roads. Many fall by the wayside, but the column staggers on without pause. Roderick falls exhausted, and is found by Robert, who himself almost at last gasp, is struggling on after the army. Robert's first impulse is to leave his rival to die in the snow, but he conquers this and assists him to his feet. An hour before dawn, there is a sudden wild alarm in the Union camp. From out of the blackness come wild yells and the flash of rifles and cannon; the only light is from the flaming guns. Jackson, marching in a complete circle, has crossed and recrossed the mountains, coming back unseen into the valley, and delivered a furious attack. The Federal rally desperately, but the surprise and assault from the rear has been perfect; the battle in the dark rages for awhile, then the firing dies away. In the height of the battle, a shell has entered the cabin in the center of the field, and the faithful Bill has given his life to protect Louise and her mother. Dawn closes with the Confederates in possession of the bloody field. Robert and Roderick, both wounded, are lying side by side, and both are taken into the cabin, which has been turned into a small hospital. Louise, doing what she can for the wounded, comes upon her two lovers, and Roderick sees that it is still Robert who has her heart. Dying, Roderick confesses his miserable trick, and in her happiness, Louise forgives him.
- His legacy as a military genius is widely renowned. Now, in Still Standing: The Stonewall Jackson Story, his legacy as a man of resolute character is captured in this revealing documentary. Still Standing traces the life of Stonewall Jackson - from his orphaned childhood, to the Sunday School class he taught for African Americans that has resulted in a lasting impact today, to the pivotal role he played as a General in the Civil War. Still Standing inspires, entertains, and educates as it examines the life of a uniquely American hero. Still Standing is punctuated by narrative from noted historians James I. "Bud" Robertson Jr., Dr. George Grant, William Potter, Virginia Military Institute Col. Keith Gibson; and Francis Lightburn Cressman - great granddaughter of Civil War Union General Joseph Lightburn - among others. The film features striking new footage from Jackson's boyhood home near Weston, West Virginia; various locations in Lexington, Virginia, and other Civil War locales.
- Monday, while the girl spy is visiting relatives, General Shields, of the Union army, and his staff, take possession of the house for the night. Nan, seeing an opportunity to employ her professional talents, makes an effort to learn the Union officer's plans. She finds the General's room guarded, but discovers another way to overhear the conversation. Retiring to her room on the second floor, she crawls out of the window on to the roof of the gallery, lowers herself down to the ground and takes up a position at the window of the General's room. Hearing the officer say he would attack Jackson at daybreak, Nan thinks of the doughty General and his Confederate army one hundred miles away. Starting on her journey, Nan rides at top speed with her important information. Tuesday night, Nan has twenty miles more to go and her horse is fagged out. This forces her to rest at a nearby town, where she unwittingly runs into danger and is suspected of being the girl spy. The loyal keeper of the tavern warns Nan of the suspicion aroused against her and an hour later Nan escapes from her room, goes to the barn for her horse, which she mounts and rides off. As she passes the tavern door the Union soldiers, hearing the sound of her horse, all rush out and readily recognize the spy is trying to escape. They quickly mount their horses and follow in pursuit. Nan, however, being thoroughly familiar with the country, fools them. Finally reaching the Confederate lines, she asks that she be taken to General Jackson, whom she informs that Shields will march at sunrise Wednesday morning and before noon will attack Jackson's flank. The doughty General of the Confederates replies, "We will march immediately and surprise General Shield's rear."
- The pride of the Kosgroves of Virginia is indeed gratified beyond measure when General "Stonewall" Jackson and his staff accepts the proffered hospitality so effusively tendered by them. The young and only son of Widow Kosgrove has enlisted and is about to join his company when the General takes a new flag from the hands of his mother, sister and wife, and presents it to the young husband as a memorial of trust. With a light heart and joyous tread, the pride of Kosgrove Manor marches away with the army. Heavy service is encountered and at the terrible slaughter at Henry House, the deafening din of the cannon's roar, the proximity of the bursting shells from the enemy's works, the deadly havoc wrought and the loss of life utterly unnerve and terrify the lad, who deserts the field at the height of battle and skulks home. Against the unavailing protests of his family, the boy will not return, and to preserve the untarnished name of Kosgrove, his beautiful young wife dons a uniform and musket and regains the regiment in time to march with them to Winchester, Va. Desperate fighting ensues, and the Blues capture an important position. Their commander mounts the bulwark and seizes the Confederate colors, but for the instant, and is downed by a bullet from the young wife's musket. She saves the flag, but falls beneath the avenging bullets of the officer's men. Her body is brought home and with a last look at the corpse of his courageous wife, Kosgrove undergoes a complete regeneration, and he re-enters the service with a vow to never return without capturing a Union flag as a trophy. "Stonewall" Jackson was routing the Federals and advancing on Winchester. With Jackson's permission the boy heads a body of brave southerners, and retakes the position lost by the Grays and stoutly maintains it, replacing the Union Stars and Stripes with the Southern Bars that his martyred wife had saved, thereby being commended by Jackson. Then they brought him home too, but the war was over. His life, too, was extinct, and with a smile of reverence he entwines the both colors in his stiffening fingers. With a last glimpse at his country's banners, he departs this world, and his soul flees to join that of his wife before the Bar of Righteousness and the Stars of Love.
