"The Army was much embarrassed by the absence of the cavalry", Robert E. Lee wrote of the Gettysburg campaign, stirring a controversy that continues today. Lee's statement was an indirect indictment of Gen. James Ewell Brown Stuart, who was the cavalry. This book reexamines the questions that have shadowed the legendary Confederate hero and offers a fresh interpretation of his role at Gettysburg.
