Many
in the Shenandoah Valley
have heard of the white oak tree known as
“Jackson’s Prayer Tree” which stood near Mount Meridian.
It was
estimated to be anywhere from 275 to 300 years old – and was
considered one of
36 most historic trees in the United States, according to the U.S.
Forestry
Department. Unfortunately the tree was blown down in 2011 (see photos
here).
On
the weekend after the
battle of Port Republic, troops under General
“Stonewall” Jackson, a deeply
religious man, were encamped nearby. His
Sunday worship service was held under this tree on June 15, 1862. The
scene is depicted in the engraving,
“Prayer in ‘Stonewall’
Jackson’s Camp” by J.C. Buttre.
Wood
was collected in 2007
during a trimming to promote the health of the tree.
Some
of it has been set aside to make into ball
point pens which are shown in the photo above.
These pens are
being sold for $25 each and may be ordered by contacting the address below.
