Eyewitness to the Last Moments of J.E.B. Stuart 

Interesting as I read Stuart was killed by a Michigan Cavalry trooper who stuck a shotgun in his stomach and pulled the trigger. I believe there is even a painting showing the death of Stuart at Yellow Tavern.

Thought I read somewhere that some newspaper maybe in Richmond, said old Huff lost his Virginia privileges, and told em basically yer not welcome, and don’t ever come back to Woolworths. 😀

​@@actionjackson1stIDFThat's ridiculous. Was probably written by one of those Lincoln-lovers.

Read the autobiography of William Willis Blackford.😊

Such aplomb

Yup. You summed it up perfectly, im on chapter 5 so far. but his tombstone has since been remade. The NC Volunteers flew all the way out there and had a ceremony with lots of old prussians and his distant family. God Bless the South, God Bless Poland. Respect and love forever.

I read that he drank some whiskey after he was wounded, cuz the doctors told him that he would go into shock, if he didn't. So he drank some, but didn't want to

Duly noted. I think my face is asymmetric, which is part of the cause. Clearly I need a makeup crew.

Humans are not symmetrical

Or he found you!

Rope a trope later used by Muhammad Ali.

It was no trope. You dishonor those men by reducing their stories and lives to derision. People were much different than we are now. Courage was very common, and faith in the salvation of the soul upon death was almost universally accepted. They lived in the last era of the chivalric tradition. Stoicism was the norm especially among gentlemen and officers. Even the rank and file soldiers were extremely accepting of the risk of death or mutilation in battle, and wrote thousands of letters using understated language describing their hopes as opposed their possible fate. We have to be aware thatthey all lived in a time when half the children born would die before the age of six. Little kids would get infant sized coffins as gifts, with a facsimilie of their little baby sister inside who passed. Family funerals were very common and close acquiantance with death was normal. I don't think Borcke wrote this account for dramatic effect.

Duly noted.

The man died more than a hundred years ago

@@jeff_underscore9244 The Civil War was a horrendous time in our country. It has reverberations to this day. It was the first industrial war that the US fought -- and it was brother against brother. I can't quote the percentage of the population that died or were maimed, but it was a huge percentage. Almost everyone was affected. Yes, it was seemingly a long time ago, but these were human beings and Americans. I think death and loss needs to be treated with respect and a degree of solemnity. Our host is a marvelous historian. I especially enjoy his focus on individuals and their stories, often in their own words. He brings the past to life in a way that makes you feel you were there. If you or I were there, I guarantee many of these stories would bring a tear to our eyes, not a smile to our lips. I think it's right to approach the subject the same way today.

@@emmgeevideo tldr sorry that guy on RU-vid was excited to make content about events and people we haven’t physically met

@@jeff_underscore9244 Sorry not sorry, right?

Why do you assume he was racist ?

He named his daughter virginia

I heard a historian speak of his revelation that there was a road to the ridge that Stuart was to attack the union flank upon. Now there is a lake and no sign of the road.

I can't find it, do you have a link to that video that mentions this?

It's The True World History Channel and when you come to the channel, you'll see a sign says Never Trust Thine Enemy this ìs the True World History Channel!

@@markherron1407Would you happen to have a link to it? I can't find it.

Right, lol. We all are. Don’t you know the first people of the English Isles were black. So we’re the first Americans, Russian, Chinese even the Polarbears were.

A lot of people felt the same about emperor,king Lincoln,the rich lawyer who represented THE RAILROADS."The great divider",who would. Not. Free. Slaves up north because there owners voted for him in my opinion.

Bless your heart there, brother.

How I despise this generation of one-sided, tunnel-visioned, myopic armchair critics.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. Why don't you pick up a book , and learn your history?

Bless your heart there, brother.

@@jonathandeeb2587 I'm not your brother, your mammy should've told you that.

@@lottrobinson87 clearly, the you do not cotton to the manners of the Old South

Same to you, when you die..as you have never have done nothing to admire in your life..like serve your country. 😊🇺🇲
