Summary: Excellent, Excellent, Excellent
Comment: JEB! If you don't know him, you will after this....and you SHOULD if you have any interest in the Civil War. The book reads so well you could finish the 400+ pages in a weekend. I've become a Burke Davis fan after this. JEB Stuart could have easily been some character right out of a Hollywood movie, but he's not....he was REAL. Ride with the General, you won't regret it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Brings humanity to history
Comment: Many biographies tend to be cold. They contain numerous facts strung together to make a coherent history of a human life. The Last Cavalier is an exception to this tendency. Burke Davis brings the most dashing of Civil War generals to life with personal letters, comments from his contemporaries and a reluctance to let J.E.B. pass into history without a fight. It was a very good read and though I knew how J.E.B.'s career ended, as I neared the end of the book, I began to dread the outcome that had to come. It was then that I knew Davis had done his job of bringing The Last Cavalier back to life.
Rating: 1
Summary: `How not to write a biography
Comment: One of the most tedious and enervating reading is a book in which practically every second page is loaded with citations from letters written to, by or about the person who is the subject of the book. Frankly speaking, if I can return the book and get some refund, I would do it gladly. This is not a reaserch but a correspondant's report. In short- minus one star!
