| Publisher Description: Historian Thomas D. "Tom" Perry tells the story of Civil War General James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart and his first sweetheart Elizabeth Perkins "Bettie" Hairston in this book on the history of Patrick and Henry Counties in Virginia in the antebellum period and through the War Between The States. Using Stuart's letters to Hairston, Perry tells the story of their romance and their lives afterwards. The story comes forward to the piano she played and he sang with her in the days before a war torn this nation apart. |
