@colindominy Stuart was played in both “Gettysburg ” and “Gods and Generals” by Joseph Fuqua. Although not given much to do in either film, he did a pretty good job, and in “Gods and Generals” he does resemble Stuart. A little too skinny in “Gettysburg,” and we all know the beards were bad, right?

Congrats !! Your posting is most interesting & enjoyable. It has all the right ingredients .. great visual montage .. terrific, 100% relevant soundtrack .. not too long, not too short, just right. Looking more closely at the stills of Gen Stuart in your post .. I’m amazed at the attention to detail & diligence shown by Ron Maxwell in his wonderful epic “Gods & Generals” .. in his casting & physical-appearance-resemblance of the depicted JEB Stuart character, compared to the real person ..

They are passing around the “bread-e-um.” Just a nonsense word, obviously, for bread.

What was that the Dutch gals are passing around? This is a great song, I downloaded it on iTunes. Nice pictures. J.E.B Stuart was the eyes of the CSA.
For more entertaining videos on YouTube, here is your pass (ricktvpass).

July 26th, 2010 @ 8:15 am
You know J.E.B. still visits the office in Hollywood cemetery from time to time many have seen him, no bull!

The Pennsylvania Dutch who lived in southern Pennsylvania. They invented funnel cakes!

I misheard that sentece a little. But who do they mean with Big fat Dutch? Dutch yankee immigrants?
July 26th, 2010 @ 10:40 am
Big fat Dutch *gals*, not cows.
You have to remember, in the mid-19th century, “fat” was a compliment because it meant healthy and well-fed (and for a woman, it meant she was probably a good cook). People used to go to the hot springs resorts to “fatten up.”

2:09 Big fat dutch cows? I am dutch and i’m a fan of the CSA, Stuart and Forrest, so i don’t like that scentece
Could someone tell me what they mean with that?

11 interesting. Why did his subordinate kill him?
July 26th, 2010 @ 12:45 pm
James E.B. Stuart, came from a clan five generations old in Virginia. He was born February 6, 1833, at Laurel Hill, a farmhouse in SW, Va. The first Stuart of the American line was Archibald Stuart, an Irish refugee of 1726. He lived in Western Pennsylvania for seven years before drifting into the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. His son Maj. Alexander Stuart, was a commander of a Virginia regiment during the Revolutionary War. This was JEB Stuarts grandfather. Yes , I would say Virginian!

I will agree with you on that. Jeb Stuart, was the MAN! I don’t think anyone could measure up to him, on or off the battlefield. He was one of those kind of people whom everybody loved and respected. A little flamboyant, true but fun loving and adored by his men who fought with him. He didn’t let the sorrows and terror of war keep him from laughing and singing and having a good time. Something very rare in the those days. He could light up a room, just by entering it , wish I had known him!

Attention Tennesseans: I consider Forrest a glorified Mosby. But without the intellectual qualities.
Not to say NBF did not have his assets. But he does not measure up to Stuart in *any* way.
July 26th, 2010 @ 2:45 pm
I strongly disagree with that comment! Try telling that to the people here in Tennessee. Having said that, can we agree to disagree.

confederate cavalry have to be noted as some of the best cavalry ever seen equal only to prince ruperts royalist cavalry

I’d like to mention the oft forgotten Confederate Cavalry General John A. Wharton.
He wasn’t the showman or peacock many of the other Cavalrymen but he was the best of the west at working effectively with Infantry and Artillery and was up there with Stuart, Mosby and Forrest as the best Cavalrymen of the Confederacy.
He was killed by a subordinate before the war ended and left little in the way of literary work so isn’t that famous but he’s worth noting anyway.
