Gr 5-8-An objective look at the life and career of one of the most flamboyant among U.S. Civil War military officers. During his short life (1833-1864), James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart was hailed not only for his combat skills and horsemanship, but also for his charismatic leadership: soldiers under his command would literally follow their general anywhere, even while enduring inhuman hardships. Contemporary reports agree that the man's courage was outstanding, even in a conflict noted for daring military heroes. Stuart was also noted for his colorful taste in uniforms; typically he arrayed himself in fine leather riding boots, white gloves, and a jaunty, plumed hat. All of this makes interesting reading, as do the equally compelling details about the war's causes and events, Confederate and Union military tactics and strategies, the way fighting was conducted on horseback, and the portraits of Stuart's family, friends, and enemies. Black-and-white period photographs and maps provide additional historical information, as do sidebars that present prose snapshots related to topics under discussion. A readable resource, especially for report writers.-Starr E. Smith, Marymount University Library, Arlington, VA
