James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart (February 6, 1833 – May 12, 1864) was a U.S. Army officer from Virginia and a Confederate States Army
general during the American Civil War. He was known to
his friends as "Jeb", from the initials of his given names. Stuart was a cavalry commander
known for his mastery of reconnaissance and the use of cavalry in support of offensive operations. While he
cultivated a cavalier image
(red-lined gray cape, yellow sash, hat cocked to the side with a peacock feather, red flower in his lapel, often sporting cologne), his serious
work made him the trusted eyes
and ears of Robert E. Lee's army and inspired Southern morale.
Stuart graduated from West Point in 1854 and served in Texas and Kansas with the U.S. Army, a veteran of the frontier conflicts with Native
Americans and the violence of Bleeding Kansas. He
participated in the capture of John Brown at Harpers Ferry. Resigning when his home state
of Virginia seceded, he served first under Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley, but then in increasingly
important cavalry commands of the Army of Northern Virginia, playing a role in all of that army's campaigns until his death. He established a
reputation as an audacious cavalry commander and on two occasions (during the Peninsula Campaign and the Maryland Campaign) circumnavigated
the Union Army of the Potomac, bringing fame to himself and embarrassment to the North. At the Battle of Chancellorsville, he distinguished
himself as a temporary commander of the wounded Stonewall Jackson's infantry corps.
Arguably Stuart's most famous campaign, Gettysburg was marred when he was surprised by a Union cavalry attack at the Battle of Brandy Station
and by his separation from Lee's army for an extended period, leaving Lee unaware of Union troop movements and arguably contributing to the
Confederate defeat at the Battle of Gettysburg. Stuart received significant criticism from the Southern press as well as the postbellum proponents
of the Lost Cause movement, but historians have failed to agree on whether Stuart's exploit was entirely the fault of his judgment or simply bad luck
and Lee's less-than-explicit orders.
