In the poem Barbara frietchie, stonewall Jackson say " Who touches a hair of yon gray head/dies like a dog! March on!" after Barbara leaned out the window. Option 1 is correct.

"Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,

But spare your country's flag," she said.

A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,

Over the face of the leader came;

The nobler nature within him stirred

To life at that woman's deed and word;

"Who touches a hair of yon gray head

Dies like a dog! March on!" he said.

Barbara Fritchie was a Unionist during the Civil War. She became part of American folklore in part because of the poem written by John Greenleaf Whittier.
