Jeb Stuart, leader of the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia, earned the admiration of his enemies during the first three years of the Civil War. Famed for his daring ride around McClellan during the Peninsula Campaign, and his raid behind Union lines in Virginia and into Maryland and Pennsylvania, he was a legend long before he was killed at Yellow Tavern in 1864.
A realistic but sympathetic account of Lee's dashing cavalry commander.

The Bold Dragoon: The Life of J.E.B. Stuart
I got this book from a fellow Civil War enthusiast - actually a girl - who was having difficulty wading through it. It is richly researched and detailed, but not the dense reading scholarly books can be. I was amazed about how much concerning JEB Stuart I didn't know. And the misconceptions.
It gives the best explanation of Stuart's much criticized ride around the Union lines prior to Gettysburg. It explains why Stuart got the nickname of "Beauty" while he was at West Point. (RE Lee was one of his instructors.) It details his relationship to women. It does not just list Stuart's subordinates but brings them to life and shows why they were important to the man who gave the South a winning edge, at least during the early part of the War.
A casual reader will find this book a bit intimidating, and you have to stick with it a bit to really understand this guy. An excellent analysis.
