Confederate Brigadier General James Ewell Brown 'Jeb' Stuart seized the responsibility of pursuing enemies as a grand, romantic game in the
tradition of chivalry--a game carried on with magnificent pageantry and impetuous flair.
Stuart's grand style and romanticism were integral components of his personality, but in the end it was his fighting skill
that made him great. He was a master of the strategic raid, skillfully leading his horsemen behind enemy lines and his intelligence-gathering ventures were unexcelled. With Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Stuart
was part of the famous triumvirate that time and again led the Army of Northern Virginia, one of the most incredible fighting forces ever seen, to victory. |
