Who commanded a confederate calvary unit to gather information for Robert E lee during the 7 days war?
P.G.T. Bureaugard
ANSWER
The general J.E.B. (Jeb) Stuart.
General R.E. Lee entrusted him to gather information about the deployment of the Potomac Army's right wing standing north of Chikahominy river.
In details the goals of the mission were:
If that wing was "vulnerable" or not;
If it was "anchored" at any natural obstacle or not;
If an encircling attack against it would have been possible without the attacking force could have in turn attacked on the flank.
Stuart selected 1200 men and two pieces of horse artillery out of his cavalry brigade, left the Confederate Army at 2 a.m. of 12th of June 1862 and performed successfully his task about 36 hour later. As the way back had already been closed by the alarmed Federal cavalry he was but only halfway of his mission. So he decided to go straight to Southeast instead Northwest. By so doing he went round the whole Potomac Army managing to reach the Confederate Army at down of 15 June, reporting the valuable intelligence badly needed by general Lee.
