Bold Dragoon: The Life of J.E.B. Stuart

Summary: An Intriguing Look at a Great Civil War Legend....
Review: This book is a very sensitive look at Jeb Stuart, yet at the same time revealing the harshness of the man/soldier behind the great legend. I must say that the amazingly "real-looking" pencil portrait of Jeb Stuart (by artist Gary Nichols), which I was lucky enough to see last year in an art show, would have lended itself well somewhere in this book. I think it would have made a much more "personal-looking" cover than the one the author chose. I really do cherish this book in my vast collection of the civil war, and I recommend it highly to anyone wishing to learn more about what made this general so great. Thank you for the space in which to offer my opinions. I welcome emails from fellow civil war buffs. Peter Eisenberg ([e-mail])
