Didn’t he loose a leg in battle - “Attack and Retreat”?
No...
Gen Hampton took over the cavalry after Stuart”s death. He led the Great Beef Steak raid against the yankees during the Petersburg seige. He was a bad ass at the final surrender by Johnston to Sherman. He lost his entire fortune (was the biggest slave owner before the war), a son and brother because of the war. Later, he was a senator and governor of SC supporting blacks’ right to vote, etc.
My grandfather and father are named for him...
