Jeb Stuart by John W. Thomason

VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Jeb Stuart by John W. Thomason Summary: Hardly any biography could contain the robust and romantic Jeb Stuart, but John W. Thomason goes as far as anyone ever has in pinning down the quality of the Confederate cavalry commander. Virginia-bred, James Ewell Brown Stuart graduated from West Point, where he was called “Beauty,” and rode with the Mounted Rifles against the Apaches and Comanches on the western frontier. When Virginia seceded from the Union, Jeb Stuart joined the Confederate army. His lightning-like raids became legendary. From Bull Run to Brandy Station, he served as Robert E. Lee’s eyes and ears, becoming a major general at the age of twenty-eight. Less than three years later Stuart’s meteoric career ended with his death in a cavalry charge. Author: John W.
