Give her a stamp...

Stoney you can redeem yourself by naming the Confederate Infantry unit that was responsible for gen. jackson's demise.

Rose's wet T-shirt clung to her torso like paint on the nose cone of a jumbo jet.

Oh man, that's a hard one... He deserves a hint.

The regiment was from the first state to secede from the union. Its number is the square root of 324.

They were NC troops. I do not know the actual regiment number, but they were NC troops that were in Gen. Jackson's corps.

I thought SC was the first to secede?
