Excerpt from Life of J. E. B. Stuart
Some years ago, to fill what appeared to me a need in our literature for children, I made a study of the lives and campaigns of General R. E. Lee and of General Stonewall Jackson and prepared, for very young readers, histories of those great commanders.
In performing these tasks, I became interested in the combats and maneuvers of General Lee's chief of cavalry, major-general J. E. B. Stuart, who has been justly called the eyes and ears of Lee. As the years go by, I find no book in print recounting to children his wonderful feats and valorous service, or explaining to them the part played in the battles of Lee and Jackson by the Stuart Cavalry Corps and Horse Artillery whose exploits hold a brilliant place in modern military tactics.
To make good this omission, I have prepared this little life of Stuart, in the hope that it 'will not only pass on the story of military deeds as captivating as any in history, but warm the hearts of rising generations to lives of courage and devotion.
