Quotes

  • Our loss was not a scratch to man or horse.
  • Gentlemen, in ten minutes every man must be in his saddle!
  • Our Southern ideals of patriotism provided us with the concepts of chivalry. I tried to excell in these virtues, but others provided a truer interpretation of gallant conduct. A devoted champion of the South was one who possessed a heart intrepid, a spirit invincible, a patriotism too lofty to admit a selfish thought and a conscience that scorned to do a mean act. His legacy would be to leave a shining example of heroism and patriotism to those who survive.
  • Old Joe Hooker, will you come out of the Wilderness!
  • Charge! And remember Jackson!
  • While rashness is a crime, boldness is not incompatible with caution, nay, is often the quintessence of prudence.

James Ewell Brown Stuart, dit Jeb Stuart, (né le 6 février 1833 et mort le 12 mai 1864) est un militaire américain, originaire de Virginie. Durant la guerre de Sécession, il devint général de cavalerie dans l'Armée des États confédérés et fut tué au combat lors de la campagne de la Wilderness. Lui et sa cavalerie n'ont pas manqué de se faire remarquer par leurs charges destructrices durant de nombreuses campagnes et il devint l'incontournable pour les offensives du général Lee.
