JOHN PELHAM OF ALABAMA: The Gallant Chief of JEB Stuart's Horse Artillery

JOHN PELHAM OF ALABAMA is the first full length biography in 45 years of JEB Stuart’s gallant Chief of Artillery. Others have told the story. At least three full biographies have been written all of which are commendable. Articles, pamphlets, sketches of his life and family are legion, but they often fail to point out as clearly as Dr. Rumburg does in this volume what was the foundation for these amazing qualities in Major John Pelham. This book needs to be on the shelf of any home where there is a desire that the youth of that family admire the right heroes.
