First Edition of the almost antique JEB STUART by US Marine Captain John Thomason , 1930 | Hardcover Biography of the Confederate Cavalry Leader | Illustrated with the author's drawings & maps. Internally tight & unmarked. Exterior: Original publisher's cloth binding, light handling wear, all lettering/decoration bright. Nice Collectible Hardcover copy. "The author's biography is a comprehensive masterful portrait of one of the most colorful military heroes of America's history. The author interviewed members of the Stuart family and had access to letters and papers never before seen by the public. He vividly recreates the Old South and the violent end of an era. There is no person more powerfully at the center of events than Jeb Stuart, who once said he did not wish to survive the loss of his country's liberty and, if he were to die, hoped it would be in a cavalry charge. This occurred at Yellow Tavern, Virginia on May 11, 1864. He was 32 years of age."
