He believed in quick, bold thrusts that would take the enemy by surprise.
He made a speciality of refusing to be shunted towards a battlefield of his enemy's choosing.
He was felt to embody the spirit of the Confederacy - a noble aristocratic leader with an outstanding war record.
He inspired fanatical loyalty - his men followed him till they were barefoot and starving.
He maintained a dignified outward bearing - except at Fredericksburg, where his victory was so decisive that he was seen dancing around, hugging other officers, for the only time in his life.

Brave, devout Christian, audacious, tenacious, intelligent.
