Here comes a further description of him from the above quoted source - he must have been a remarkable man and soldier, although my own criteria of what "handsome" might mean are a little bit different :

"According to John N. Edwards, with whom he traveled Mexico, "Magruder was a born soldier . . . He would fight all day and dance all night. He wrote love songs and sang them, and won an heiress rich beyond comparison." Magruder spoke with a lisp. He was six feet tall and "in full regimentals," and was said to have been "the handsomest soldier in the Confederacy." He married Esther Henrietta von Kapff on May 18, 1831. For the first nineteen years he saw his family in Baltimore only on occasional furloughs. After 1850 his wife visited him only twice, 1854-55 and 1856. Many thought he was single."
