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.
