Maryland (Maryland, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.23
m sure I was not gone altogether over fifteen minutes. I left him by himself. He must have mounted his horse as soon as I left him and ridden to where the 1st regiment was in line of battle. I dismounted and ordered the men from the field to meet the horses, that they might mount and meet the enemy's charge, to save the Baltimore Light Artillery. That must have been the time when Mr. Oliver saw him riding alone through the woods towards them, and took his position between him and another Maryland man of Company K, of the 1st Virginia regiment of cavalry. He may have ordered all of the companies to meet the horses before he got there, as that company was on the extreme left, and when he got to Company K found it was too late to order them, and let them remain. The balance of the regiment certainly met the horses, and left the field before the General was shot. I was riding at the head of the regiment of led horses, Company C, being in front, when we met the men. The men had just

These statements of Mr. Oliver's and Mr. Dorsey's, I Saw in the issues of October 23, 1903, of the Baltimore Sun. General Stuart was no doubt seen giving orders to the First Virginia Cavalry in line of battle to go to meet their horses, to mount and make a charge, to save the Baltimore Artillery. He did not get mounted in time to make the charge. That action of General Stuart's may have been mistaken by others for rallying his men to charge to save the Baltimore Artillery. These statements are absolutely correct, and can be substantiated. My captain, C. F. Jordan, will confirm many of-them. There has been so many differences of opinion as to how Stuart was mortally wounded, and how he happened to be where he was, at the time he was shot, I, being in a position to know something about it, have made these statements.

Yellow Tavern (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.23
A midnight charge [from the times-dispatch, May 16, 1904.] And the death of General J. E. B. Stuart. He proposed to advance on the enemy's Camp at Yellow Tavern. Made a Reconnoisance but found the Federal pickets wide awake. [For account of death of General Stuart, see Southern Historical Society Papers, Vols. XXIX, p. 22; XXX, p. 236.] While the article following deals, in part, with the much controverted point as to how Jeb Stuart received his death wound, a far more we could see them moving out, and the General commenced firing into their camp with that gun, as fast as possible, and it got away from there in a hurry. From that time on we had some skirmishing until the general engagement commenced, near Yellow Tavern. The General kept me busy that day carrying orders. It was the hardest and hottest day's work I ever did. It was one of the hardest fought battles during the mar. I was told by one of our commanding officers—one who was in a position to kno

The other companies could easily have been ordered from the field to meet the horses, without his knowing it, as he was stationed in the extreme left and probably not in sight.

to come off the next day, and also that he knew the odds against him would be very heavy. The General conceived the idea of charging the enemy's camp that night. Our camps were not very far apart. About 12 o'clock at night, my captain, C. F. Jordan, came to me and waked me up and said that General Stuart had sent for me, and wanted me to report to him at once, mounted. I asked the captain what the general wanted. The captain said he did not know. As he wanted me to come mounted, I sed in time to make the charge.

I intended to join him, but General Fitz Lee rode up right in front of me and said: It is too late to charge now. The enemy have made the charge and captured the Baltimore Light Artillery, and General Shas been shot. I am am afraid mortally wounded. The men called out, some of them, For God's sake, General, let us charge them, anyhow. No, it is too late, General Fitz Lee replied, we are going to retreat now, and I want the regiment to cover our retreat. I never saw such a distressed looking body of men in my life as they looked to be, many of them shedding tears when they heard our gallant General had been shot, and the first they knew of his being shot, was when General Fitz Lee told them with tears in his eyes. He knew too well what a shock such sad news would be to the Old First. He knew what the men thought of Stuart, and what their beloved
