GILBERT (1755-x828) , See also:American artist, was See also:born at See also:North See also:Kingstown, Rhode See also:Island, on the 3rd of See also:December 1755. He studied at See also:Newport,. Rhode Island, with Cosmo See also:Alexander, and went with him to See also:Scotland, but returned to See also:America after Alexander's See also:death and obtained many portrait

it is true, he had the See also:good See also:fortune, in his See also:raid against See also:General See also:Pope's communications, not only to See also:burn a See also:great quantity of stores, but also, what was far more important, to bring off - the headquarters' See also:staff document of the enemy, from which See also:- LEE

Lee was able to discover the strength and positions of his opponents in detail. Stuart, now a See also:major-general and See also:commander of the See also:cavalry See also:corps, was See also:present at the second See also:battle of See also:Bull Run, and during the See also:Maryland See also:campaign he brilliantly defended one of the passes of See also:South See also:Mountain (Crampton's See also:Gap), thus enabling Lee to concentrate his disseminated See also:army in See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time to meet McClellan's attack. After this battle the indefatigable troopers embarked upon a fresh raid, which, though without any definite See also:object, had its value as an assertion of unbroken courage after the quasi-defeat of See also:Antietam, and in addition wore out the Federal cavalry in vain efforts to pursue them. On this occasion the See also:swift Virginians covered 8o See also:miles in 27 See also:hours and escaped with the loss of but three men. At Fredericksburg Stuart's cavalry were as usual in the flank of the army, and his See also:horse See also:artillery under Major See also:Pelham rendered valuable service in checking See also:Franklin's attack on " Stonewall " See also:Jackson's corps by diverting a whole See also:infantry See also:division that formed See also:part of Franklin's command. At See also:Chancellorsville Stuart was specially appointed by Lee to take over command of the II. army corps after Jackson had been wounded, and though unused to commanding so large a force of all arms he acquitted himself so well in the second See also:day's fighting that many considered that a See also:grave injustice was done to him by the promotion of Major-General See also:Ewell, Jackson's See also:principal See also:lieutenant, to fill the position See also:left vacant by Jackson's death. The next campaign, See also:Gettysburg, was preluded by the cavalry battle of See also:Brandy Station, in which for the first time the Federal cavalry showed themselves worthy opponents for Stuart and his men. The See also:march to the See also:Potomac was screened by the cavalry corps, which held the various approaches on the right flank of the army, but at the crisis of the campaign Stuart was absent on a raid, and although he attempted to rejoin Lee during the battle, he was met and checked some miles from the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

field by General Gregg, so that the skill and courage which might have turned the See also:scale in favour of Lee on the first and second days of the great battle were employed only in covering his See also:retreat. The cavalry took part in the See also:war of manceuvre between See also:Meade and Lee in the autumn of 1863, and then went into See also:winter quarters. Very shortly after the opening of the campaign of 1864 Stuart's corps was See also:drawn away from Lee's army by the See also:Union cavalry under See also:Sheridan, and part of it, with which was Stuart himself, was defeated at Yellow See also:Tavern on the loth of May. Stuart himself was killed.
Stuart possessed the ardent and resolute See also:character of the true cavalry See also:leader, and although he was fortunate enough to command brigades and regiments exclusively composed of men who were both born horsemen and natives of See also:Virginia, and to be opposed, for the first two years, by docile but unenterprising squadrons which were recruited in a more See also:ordinary way, yet it was undeniable that he possessed the See also:gift, indeed the See also:genius, of a great leader. That his See also:energy was sometimes squandered on useless raids was but natural, considering the character of his forces,. but in regard to his performances in the more exhausting and far more vital service of See also:security and See also:reconnaissance, General See also:Johnston could ask " How can I See also:sleep unless he is on the outpost? " and General Lee could say " He never brought me a false See also:report." Stuart preserved under all circumstances the, gaiety of a cavalry subaltern and the See also:personal character of an See also:earnest See also:Christian, and the army regarded his loss as almost as heavy a See also:blow to the Confederate cause as that of Jackson.
