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 (Jeb) Stuart (Patrick County (Virginia), 6 februari 1833 – Richmond (Virginia), 12 mei 1864) was een Amerikaans generaal die tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog aan de zijde van de Confederatie vocht. Als cavaleriecommandant leverde hij belangrijke bijdragen aan de oorlogsinspanning van de Zuidelijke staten tijdens het conflict. Stuart studeerde in 1854 af aan de militaire academie van West Point. Op 14 mei 1861, na de afscheiding van Virginia van de Unie, voegde Stuart zich bij de Confederatie waar hij in het zuidelijke leger al snel promoveerde van kolonel tot generaal-majoor. Hij kreeg naam als een kundige "scout" die generaal Robert E. Lee belangrijke informatie verschafte over de posities van de noorderlingen zoals voor de Tweede Slag bij Bull Run toen hij een aanval deed op het hoofdkwartier van . In juli 1862 kreeg Stuart het bevel over de gehele cavalerie van het Army of Northern Virginia. Stuarts naam als "scout" kreeg tijdens de Slag bij Gettysburg een klap te verwerken toen hij pas op de tweede dag van de slag te Gettysburg aankwam en zodoende geen tijdige informatie aan Lee wist te verschaffen over de posities van de Noordelijke legers. Tijdens de Slag bij Yellow Tavern, een treffen tussen de Geconfedereerde cavalerie en die van de noordelijke generaal Philip Sheridan, sneuvelde Stuart op 31-jarige leeftijd.
