Description |
English: The oil painting depicting cavalry saber duel during Jeb Stuart’s famous ride around McClellan. Note: McClellan” recalls the description given of the encounter in John S. Abbot’s 1873 History of the Civil War in America: “In a conflict which took place between the Union dragoons and this rebel band, there was a singular duel between a strongly mounted Texan rebel and a patriot German trooper, quite in the style of the days of knight-errantry. . . . Both men were adroit swordsmen, and managed their horses with equal and admirable skill. They were so equally matched that the exciting combat was watched with great interest.” Abbot’s account is referenced in the caption beneath Trego’s illustration in Battles and Leaders. John S. Abbott, The History of the Civil War in America, vol. 2. Norwich, CT: Henry Bill Publishing Company, 1873, p. 97; Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, vol. 2. New York: Century Company, 1887, p. 274 |
