Yes, I will pass along an information I find.
In the summer of 1856 a professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy at Virginia Military Institute, Thomas James Jackson, was the object of some criticism for his teaching style. Nothing ever came of this episode, and Jackson was given an even larger classroom when it was all over. Jackson, who would later be better known as General Stonewall Jackson, was not aware of any of this at the time, he sailed for Europe early in July 1856. While in Europe he visited England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany and Italy. While there he mostly studied the art and architecture of Europe rather than military history, but he did visit the Waterloo battlefield. He previously had planned to spend the summer traveling west to buy some land, but he feared if the Union was dissolved his land in the north would be confiscated.
