The original JEB, God Bless him!

Jeb was good (with the exception of being unaccounted for in the day(s) prior to Gettysburg), but N.B. Forrest was the best. ;)

That the colored people would malign a noble man like this, and the flag he served, does not speak well of them.

His two "ride-arounds" of the Union Army -- first in 1862 and again in 1863 -- became the stuff of legend...

The first "ride-around" in the Pennisular Campaign brought him glory, did no harm and brought intelligence back to Lee's positions around Richmond.

However, in 1863, with the Army of Northern Virginia plunging into enemy territory, Stuart's primary duty should have been to stick to Lee like glue and be Lee's "eyes".

Stuart's "ride around" in 1863 was highly irresponsible.

But, then again, he was only 31 years old. At that age, men sometimes have more testosterone than common sense. Now that I have more common sense than testosterone, life is a lot more boring than it used to be. :-)

He may have been admired, but he still fought for the wrong side.
