Stuart was a cavalry commander known for his dashing image (red-lined gray cape, yellow sash, hat cocked to the side with a peacock feather, red flower in his lapel, often sporting cologne) and his audacious tactics. Through his daring raids and reconnaissance missions, he became Robert E. Lee's eyes and ears and inspired Southern morale. He was killed late in the War, and was much missed by Lee and the Confederacy.
