Confederate Strategy
February 7, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby," edited by Charles Wells Russell. The most valuable portion of Colonel Mosby's memoirs is the chapter which discusses the participation of the Confederate cavalry leader, General J. E. B. Stuart, in the Gettysburg campaign. The usual conception of Stuart's conduct in that campaign holds that he went off upon a wild goose chase around the rear of the Army of the Potomac. The popular conception of Stuart's conduct in this campaign is also the usual historical conception, and in a measure justifies that contempt for military history which General Meade once expressed in a letter.
