They have a whole section devoted to Jackson, that's where I found out the name of his horse. ;)

I've made small stabs of research at this question. I do know it wasn't Ames. He received his MoH for his actions at the battle of 1st Manassas.

I think the original question was worded wrong. I do believe Ames is the Answer.

Gordon is correct, while I am incorrect, for it is Ames who I was looking for, and my apologies for causing such confusion
