Civil War Death Moon, Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson was shot at the Battle of Chancellorsville by his own men, and astronomer Don Olson and researcher Laurie E. Jasinksi of Texas State University have a new theory as to why: the moon.
They claim a full moon made it difficult for Jackson's men to see, hence the accidental shooting. "The 18th North Carolina was looking to the southeast, directly toward the rising moon," Olson and Jasinski say. The moon was "25 degrees above the horizon [and] would've silhouetted Jackson and his officers, completely obscuring their identities." Depressingly, not a word is given to our alternate (and much less popular) theory: Stonewall Jackson was a werewolf.
