Civil War Times Illustrated 1995 June J.E.B. Stuarts Revenge
Civil War Times Illustrated is published monthly except for July & August. On our cover, Major General J.E.B. Stuart, the very symbol of Southern chivalry, gallantly waves the most famous hat in the Confederacy in a detail from the "Autumn" mural at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. The story of the capture of Stuart's beloved hat, and of his swift and surprisingly ironic revenge, begins on page 38.
