"The Army was much embarrassed by the absence of the cavalry,"
Robert E. Lee wrote of the Gettysburg campaign, stirring a
controversy that continues even today. Lee's statement was an
indirect indictment of Gen. James Ewell Brown ("Jeb") Stuart, who
was the cavalry. This book reexamines the questions that have
shadowed the legendary Confederate hero and offers a fresh,
informed interpretation of his role at Gettysburg. Avoiding the partisan pros and cons characterizing previous
accounts, Warren C. Robinson reassesses the historical record to
come to a clearer view of Stuart's orders for the crucial battle
(as well as what was expected of him), of his actual performance,
and of the impact his late arrival had on the outcome of the
campaign. Though Stuart may not have disobeyed Lee's orders,
Robinson argues, he did abuse the general's discretion by raiding
Washington rather than scouting for the army at Gettysburg--a move
that profoundly affected Confederate fortunes and perhaps the war
itself.
