Thomas D. Perry, founder of the J. E. B. Stuart Birthplace, presents the collected papers of Confederate cavalry commander James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart in this opening volume of a planned three-part series. The documents reveal Stuart's military correspondence, personal letters, and official reports from his service as one of the Civil War's most celebrated generals. Perry organizes Stuart's writings chronologically, providing context for the general's strategic thinking and personal relationships during the conflict. The papers illuminate Stuart's role in major campaigns and his interactions with fellow Confederate leaders. This collection offers readers direct access to Stuart's own words and thoughts, presenting an unfiltered view of the man behind the military legend. The volume serves as both historical record and personal portrait of a complex figure whose cavalry raids became legendary throughout the war.
