A Portrait of J. E. B. Stuart

Historian Thomas D. "Tom" Perry tells the story of James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart, both from Patrick County, Virginia, and the controversy in 2015 when the portrait of Stuart was taken down from the Patrick County Courthouse. The ensuing controversy brought media attention and a discussion of the history relating to Confederate History and the Civil War. The portrait eventually found its way to the Wall of Honor in the Patrick County Administration Building in Stuart, Virginia. This book continues with the controversies surrounding J. E. B. Stuart High School in Fairfax, Virginia, and the controversy surrounding J. E. B. Stuart's statue on Monument Avenue in Richmond. This book is a portrait of the man who was James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart and the modern times that reflect on the history he embodies.
