'Thomason's volume is a spirited and eloquent one...His account of the ride around McClellan is a fine piece of description as you are likely to meet, and his accounts of Seven Days, Antietam, Chambersburg, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville are both full and brilliant' - Henry Steele Commager. 'An intimate biography, warm, colorful, convincing. The picture of a happy warrior rejoicing in life, love, and the task he was supremely fitted to do' - "New York Evening Post". 'Captain Thomason neglects none of the little touches that so clearly reveal the human and lovable side of Jeb Stuart. At the same time he retells, in unforgettable language, the story of the Confederate cavalry's part in the fighting done by the Army of Northern Virginia' - "Christian Science Monitor". 'We cannot recall any biography of a Civil War leader with half the dash, color, and smartness of Jeb Stuart' - "Outlook".'Set forth with engaging phrase and infectious gusto which carry the reader' - "Saturday Review of Literature". Hardly any biography could contain the robust and romantic Jeb Stuart, but John W. Thomason Jr. goes as far as anyone ever has in pinning down the quality of the Confederate cavalry commander. Virginia-bred, James Ewell Brown Stuart graduated from West Point, where he was called "Beauty," and rode with the Mounted Rifles against the Apaches and Comanches on the western frontier. When Virginia seceded from the Union, Jeb Stuart joined the Confederate army. His lightning-like raids became legendary.From Bull Run to Brandy Station he served as Robert E. Lee's eyes and ears, becoming a major general at the age of twenty-eight. Less than three years later Stuart's meteoric career ended with his death in a cavalry charge. John W. Thomason Jr., a captain in the U. S. Marine Corps in World War I, interviewed members of the Stuart family for this book, first published in 1930. This Bison Book edition is introduced by Gary W. Gallagher, a professor of history at Pennsylvania State University and the author of "Fighting for the Confederacy: Personal Recollections of General Edward Porter Alexander" and "The First Day at Gettysburg: Essays on Confederate and Union Leadership".

The M3 and M5 family of light tanks were the culmination of American tank development of the 1930s. However, by the time of the outbreak of World War II, they were approaching obsolescence. First entering combat in the autumn of 1941 in the Western Desert with the British Army, the Stuart quickly showed that it was inadequate in tank fighting. They proved more suitable in the Pacific theater than in Europe, and fought successfully in many of the major battles. This title shows three different ways of building these popular tanks, covering construction, painting and weathering, as well as illustrating the vehicles in diorama settings.
The M3 and M5 family of light tanks were the culmination of American tank development of the 1930s.

First entering combat in the autumn of 1941 in the Western Desert with the British Army, the Stuart quickly proved its inadequacies.

This title narrates this distinctive and unusual fighting vehicle's history.

"The spirit of reform which was developed during the early part of the sixteenth century brought about a desire on the part of young men of means to travel on the continent of Europe. This was for the purpose of making themselves acquainted with the politics, social life, literature, art, science, and commerce of the various nations of the same, especially of France, Spain, and Italy. These young Englishmen on their return introduced into the society in which they mixed not only the politenesses of these countries, but the wit of Italy, and the character of the poetry which was then in vogue in Southern Europe."
