Jackson was hit three times, and a Southern bullet shattered his left arm, which had to be amputated the next day. Soon, pneumonia set in, and Jackson began to fade. He died, as he had wished, on the Sabbath, May 10, 1863, with these last words: “Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.”

I found this account of William J. Barbie, a scout in Hood's Texans at Gettysburg to be pretty amazing.
As the 1st Texas was attacking Devil's Den at triangle field, a Texan by the name of William J. Barbie rode up on his horse to triangle field, as he was riding his horse got shot out from under him and in one motion he sprang from his saddle and without missing a step he climbed up on a boulder. Once he was on top of the boulder he stood up and started cussing and hollerin at the yanks on the opposite side of the field. As he was doing this the Texans on the ground below him started to pass up loaded rifles to him and he began calmly firing at the yankee line while bullets were flying all around him. He had fired about 20 shots when a bullet struck him in the leg and knocked him off the rock, no sooner had he been hit when he got on top of the rock again and resumed firing. Well a little while later he got hit in his leg again and fell off the rock, and for a third time he climbed back up on top of the rock and resumed firing. As he was firing he got hit in the chest and fell off the rock and as he lay next to his fellow Texans he began cussin and yelling at them because they wouldn't lift him up onto the rock again.

Not sure what battle it was but a Texas soldier said "There was so many musket balls coming at us I just wanted to hold my hat up and catch me some".

There was another story of a guy that ordered his own execution "fire" by firing squad b/c the commander couldn't bring himself to do it in the face of the convicted soldiers bravery so the guy ordered it himself. I can't find it anywhere to copy and paste that one though.

“Put the boys in, and may God forgive me for the order.”
General John C. Breckinridge - Battle of New Market

when sending 257 Cadets from Virginia Military Institute who had been pulled in as "reserve". The average age of about 16. 10 were killed in action, or as a direct result of action. 45 more wounded.

following a Union retreat Breckinridge said, “Well done, Virginians. Well done, men.”

Last diary entry found on a dead soldier, ‘June 3. Cold Harbor. I was killed.’ Pretty amazing if you really let it sink in.
