This is a short children's biography of JEB Stuart. My school library gave it to me without ever putting it into stock. Why? He was on the wrong side. None of my students ever wrote a biography of him during all of the time I taught U.S. History. The biography is ok but there is nothing special in it to hook the reader to wanting more details. He was a great cavalry officer but screwed up at Gettysburg, which helped lead to that Confederate defeat.
