J.E.B. Stuart Papers
.
.
These pages contain my transcriptions of some of Stuart's papers from the Virginia Historical Society and elsewhere.
I have not seen these published before, although I have seen a few of
them quoted from or referred to.
Most of the papers were written by Stuart, in his small,
beautifully neat
handwriting, but a few were written by others. All spelling, capitalization, and punctuation is the same as
in the originals. To correct it would remove the character and
the "voice."
.
I
have also left in strikeouts, because the words Stuart thought about
including demonstrate what he was thinking as much as the words he
chose.
.
A new addition! I've finally finished transcribing the David French Boyd manuscript!
.
Future
additions to these pages will include articles regarding Stuart from
the Richmond Daily Dispatch during the war, and a treatment of the dispute between
Stuart and Gen. Isaac Trimble about who got credit for what after
the capture of Manassas Junction in 1862. Stay tuned!

The Boyhood of General J.E.B. Stuart
Manuscript from the archives of Louisiana State University, written by David French Boyd,
who had been a childhood friend of Stuart's. This was written in
1896 and is somewhat rambling, therefore I've edited out what I
consider irrelevant and uninteresting. Boyd submitted the
manuscript to Flora Stuart, who added her own annotations. She
was not very pleased with it, but there are parts of it that are too
priceless for it to go unread.
