Jubal Early

[Virginia Dave]

I'm no doctor, but it works for me.

Scotch, Whiskey or Bourbon?

Quess I'm a Redneck, but a sip of Corn from a jar is my favorite, some times apple cider as chaser. But a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon works just as well.

Well I haven't had any corn licker in a few years. My source in Franklin county died a few years ago.

@Virginia Dave do you need a teeny tiny plate to crack over Jubal's head?

 

[Jantzen64]

I painted over his mouth. Hands to shaky.

A couple of years ago, I decided to get into miniatures. I tried painting my own and the results reminded of me of when my kindergarten teacher told my mom that I had trouble staying in the lines at coloring time!

If you have one I'll send you my address. LoL. Might make a great diorama.

She is a natural Irish beauty. My pet name for her is my Wild Irish Rose. She doesn't wear makeup except a little lip gloss on occasion. But she does have a steady hand. I will see if I can bribe her.

She sounds awful nice. You're a lucky man

I am a very lucky man.

 

[Booner]

I am a very lucky man.

And I suspect, she's a lucky woman too

LoL she puts up with a lot. Bless her.

Council of War. I am not sure if all of them would have met at one time, but it sure is fun to imagine. I just had to do something with the photo I took of Jubals home place. Can you guess which one he is?

Stuart, Jackson, Lee, Longstreet, Early?

Stuart, Jackson, Lee, Longstreet, Early?

When would they have all been together?

 

[Pat Answer]

The Antietam to Fredericksburg period, but Early wouldn't be high enough in rank to routinely attend conferences with the others.

I slightly disagree - there would be times in situations like Fredericksburg when they could have all been together. For example, Lee accompanied by Longstreet might be inspecting his extended line right after the arrival of Jackson's men, and encountered Jackson talking with Stuart, who was protecting the right flank, in the vicinity of Early's Division of Jackson's Corps. Division commanders are high enough up the chain of command and there are only around a dozen of them, making them important elements in command.

You mention above I believe, he is a distant ancestor. I would be pretty proud of that if I was a Virginian. And to have a beautiful miniature of the guy is something really special, in my opinion. Great topic!

I recognize those as commercially produced William Britain's Miniatures; I have several, including a different Jackson, his ADC Henry Kyd Douglas, topographical engineer Jed Hotchkiss, Lewis Armistead, Union Gen. Joe Hooker, and Col. Joshua Chamberlain; plus many of the various infantrymen of both sides. They're reasonably priced and well-done. I've never seen this Early but think its a reasonable likeness for a miniature.

No argument there - and I would pick Fredericksburg as the single most likely place also.

Correct all the way.

I visited his homestead. I posted the photos of his house album.
