Description: Jeb Stuart died in 1864 at the age of thirty-one. However, he lives on, both as a personality and a Confederate Cavalry leader in books, pictures and the popular imagination. In Jeb Stuart Speaks, Bernice-Marie Yates allows the young Virginian to express his ideas and answer questions in his own words. The reader is present as Stuart explains how he felt and what he did to the anonymous interviewer.

This book empowers Stuart to be himself with all his strengths and weaknesses. Thorough scholarship is the foundation for this creative portrayal of Stuart as he addresses his critics and answers tough questions about the events of his life. By using the modern interview format, Dr. Yates permits General Jeb Stuart to reveal his thoughts and actions in direct address to the reader.
