Cavalryman of the Lost Cause: A Biography of J. E. B. Stuart

Now in paperback, this major biography of J.E.B. Stuartâ€”the first in two decadesâ€”uses newly available documents to draw the fullest, most accurate portrait of the legendary Confederate cavalry commander ever published.

â€¢ Major figure of American history: James Ewell Brown Stuart was the Southâ€™s most successful and most colorful cavalry commander during the Civil War. Like many who die young (Stuart was thirty-one when he succumbed to combat wounds), he has been romanticized and popular- ized. One of the best-known figures of the Civil War, J.E.B. Stuart is almost as important a figure in the Confederate pantheon as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

â€¢ Most comprehensive biography to date: Cavalryman of the Lost Cause is based on manuscripts and unpublished letters as well as the latest Civil War scholarship. Stuartâ€™s childhood and family are scrutinized, as is his service in Kansas and on the frontier before the Civil War. The research in this biography makes it the authoritative work.
