J.E.B.+Stuart+5

J.E.B. Stuart, (James Ewell Brown), was born February 6th, 1833 in Virginia. He entered West Point military academy in 1850, and took part in the repression of civil disorder in Kansas. He married a daughter of Colonel Philip St George Cooke. When Virginia seceded, Stuart left the U.S. Army in order to defend his state. He was sent out to locate the flank of McClellan's army, before the Seven Day's Battle, by Robert E. Lee and did so successfully. Stuart also raided General Pope's communications successfully and brought off the headquarters' staff document of the enemy. He was absent on a raid led by Lee and attempted to rejoin him but was caught by General Greg some miles away from the field of battle. After the beginning of the Campaign of 1864, Start and his men were driven away from Lee's army by Union Cavalry and then he was defeated at Yellow Tavern on May 10th. He was killed in battle with his men that day.
