VISITING THE GRAVE OF CIVIL WAR GENERAL JAMES EWELL BROWN (JEB) STUART
Major General J.E.B. Stuart distinguished himself during the Civil War as General Robert E. Lee's premier calvary officer. James Ewell Brown Stuart was born in Patrick County, Virginia. After graduating from West Point in 1854, he became a first lieutenant in the United States Army and was posted in the west where he became an Indian Fighter In 1859, he was sent with Robert E. Lee to go to Harpers Ferry to stop the raid of John Brown. After Brown's raiders were surrounded in the town, Stuart volunteered to issue the ultimatum to Brown before the final assault. In 1861, he resigned is commission and joined the Confederate Cavalry. He was promoted several times in the first few months of the war, eventually becoming a Major General in July of 1862. He led the cavalry in the battles at Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and many others. He was wounded in a cavalry battle in Yellow Tavern, on the outskirts of Richmond, on May 11, 1864, and died the next day in the capital city.

I thought that she was cremated.
She was but her cremains were moved from her niche in California and buried here with her Mother and several other members of her family. Thank you for watching
Thank you for this video, I am southern thru and thru. I will always honor and respect our Southern Patriots. RIP General Stuart, you are remembered.🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Thank you for watching and your very kind and appropriate comment.
Lose the music
Rip
A few of my ancestors served under general pickett and was at Gettysburg and actually survived his charge thank God
General Pickett is resting just a short walk from where General Stuart is Resting. Thank You for Watching and for commenting.
Thank you general Stuart for your service
Thank You for watching and for your kind comment
Interesting. I worked at the park as a seasonal one year many years ago before this went on display … got to learn of lots of untold stories of the ship and see artifacts up close and personal .
Thank you for your service to the Parks service and safe guarding our History. Thank you for watching and for your interesting comment. I really appreciate it.
I didn’t particularly care for him but he’s part of the history of our state.
Thank You for your appreciation of History. I appreciate your comment and you watching my video. Thank You Very Much.
Been there … me and the deer! Yes the DEER!!
Yes, I believe you, I saw a couple of deer just as I was enter the Cemetery. Thanks For Watching.
It’s a shame how people with power can change history
Yes I agree, People can try and hide History but no matter how hard they try, They can't change it. Thanks For watching and for commenting.

Thank you for your time and consideration of Virginia's history. History is never-ending. Nor should struggles of America.

Thank You for watching and for your comment.
Warwick brothers are buried just a few feet away from JEB. One died at Gaines Mill with the Texas brigade, the other not long after. Countless stories at Hollywood…
I have only scratched the surface of the history in Hollywood Cemetery. I really want to return and do videos on the Warwick Brothers along with Edward Valentine who created the magnificent statue of General Lee that is in Lee Chapel. Thank your for watching, and for you comments and suggestions.
You should do one on A. P. Hill. He was disinterred at least 3 times, to finally rest in Culpeper just a few years ago.
I visited the Grave of General A. P. Hill in Culpeper a few weeks back. I still have to edit the footage. I will try and get it edited and upload in the next few weeks. Thank You for Watching and for your great suggestion. I really appreciate it.
I never realized how young he was when he died.
Yes, He was very young but looked much older. I guess war will do that too you. Thank You for Watching and for commenting.
The best Spaghetti as a kid and adults.
Richmond should be ashamed for letting them take the statues down, I find it disgusting.
Thank You for watching. I appreciate and understand your comment
Its repulsive
I would expect nothing less than from a traitor loving scumbag.
Do you think these guys believed that 150 years later we would be still talking about them?
That's an interesting thought. I read somewhere that General Lee once remarked during his later years at Washington and Lee that he hoped that History would remember him kindly for the work he did here. He was more proud of the work that he did at Washington and Lee than anything he did during the War. Thank You for watching and for you thoughtful comment.
Excellent video, very informative. Thank you.
Thank You for watching and for your very kind comments.
Those statutes being taken down in Richmond Virginia because of the WOKE cry babies that have have tried to destroyed our history is the number one reason I will never be back in that city. Truth be known 1 person out of 100 can't tell you who those men were .But they could recognize the fact that they were works of art. OH BEFOE I FORGET THE TAIBAN DID THE SAME THING. TO
Your are correct in everything you say. Thank You for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Sad and tragic that history is being hidden and removed, what's next? They're gonna take the churches next time I guess.
So True, Thank You for watching and for you insightful comment.
Does anyone know why it was moved?did they move her 2nd husband also?
Her Children had the cremains relocated to be buried with here mother in the family plot. Her Second Husband Gary Morton was also cremated and his remains are in the possession of his family.
Wow!! The main road, Route 58 that runs across Virginia is the Jeb Stweart Highway. It says that at the bottom of some of the road signs. I grew up on 58 and now live within a quarter mile of it. It's so cool to hear the history of that name. I never knew who Jeb Stewart was until now.
Yes, some areas of Route 58 still carry the name JEB Stuart Highway and some areas of Route 11 still carry the name Lee Highway (names after General Robert E. Lee.} Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
@@tombstonesandtravel8805 I just realized that I spelled Stuart wrong..lol. Thank you for posting about him and taking us along to visit his grave.
You could do a years worth of shows at Richmond Cemetery alone!
Yes, I still have a long list of Graves that I want to Visit at Hollywood Cemetery and there are a number of other cemeteries in Richmond that I want to Visit. Thank You for watching and for your comment.
Are you gonna do a trubie to Danny Davis
Danny Davis is on my list the next time I return to Nashville. He is resting at the Harpeth Hill Memorial Gardens and when I was there before I did try and locate his grave but was unsuccessful. I was there on a weekend and the office was closed. I do plan to go back the next time I am in Nashville. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
God bless, one hilarious, beautiful woman ❤
Thank You for your kind comment
Which one was Lucy? What year did she pass? Why did they remove her remains?
Her cremains were interred in the family plot beneath the headstone. She passed away on April 26, 1989 and her children had her cremains moved so she could rest near her mother and other family members.
@tombstonesandtravel8805 Thank you
My dog doesn’t do tricks. He just sits there.
I am struck by the view of the cemetery, with the river there.
It is on the point at the Confluence of Kanawha and Ohio Rivers.
@tombstonesandtravel8805 I know where that is!
Les Dewitt was the best titter voice I ever heard
I would tend to agree, thanks for watching.
😮 what year was she born when did she pass away obviously that's not the original tombstone
She was born on August 6, 1911 and died on April 26, 1989. Her original grave was in California but her cremains were moved here at the request of her children in 2002. The current tombstone was place shortly after she was interred her. Thank you for watching.
He was so good as Sgt. Carter ❤
Yes he was. Thank You for watching and for your comment.
Justice Powell is my FAVORITE Justice of all time! Straight down the line Constitutionalist ... truly fair and impartial
I totally agree with you. Thank you for watching and for commenting
@@tombstonesandtravel8805... absolutely! Thank you for posting this awesome video and showing us the resting place of this great man!!
I live in her home town, when the weather is good I often take long walks through there and often get stopped and get asked for directions to her, which I can easily give. As many times as I have shown visitors where she is I should be a tour guide for the cemetery to find her😂
When I ask for directions at the Lucy-Desi Museum I was told, "Just follow the Hearts." Thanks for watching and for commenting. I really appreciate it.
thats my bat Ileft there
While I was there a man and his son stopped by and left a baseball. He said that ever so often the cemetery is forced to collect and remove the artifacts that people leave.. Glad you were able to recognize your bat. Thanks For watching.
Way did her children have Lucille Ball moved to a new cemetery. Show us Gary Morton Lucy's second husband shows Desi grave
She was cremated and her cremains were originally interred in California. In 2002 here Cremains were moved from California to New York. According to what I was told that Lucy always wanted to be buried near her mother and that is the reason that her children had her cremains moved. From what could find out online, both Gary Morton and Desi Arnaz were cremated and have final resting place. Thank You for watching.
In the movie when the bridge falls apart. Thats the main bridge in my hometown. They shut it down for like 2 months so could use it to film. People were pissed. Then even more pissed when they how shitty the movie was.😂
One of the people in the Museum told me that people thought that Mothman may have had something to do with the Bridge collapse. I don't know, I was a teenage when the Bridge Collapsed and can remember the news reports. I saw the movie and have to agree it was sort of crappy. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.
Cool.
I loved his spaghetti 🍝 O's when I was younger
Nice grave. But no cross. Usually too modest
Lucy was OK never was that crazy about her sorry

For good or for ill - if we don't study history and the people who made it, then we are bound to repeat it.
I agree 100%. We must learn from History and our Historical Figures. Thank You for you always positive and supportive comments. Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.
Many people in other states said Jessie Helm's was our punishment here in NC for eating coleslaw on BBQ sandwiches. I don't know about that. I always liked coleslaw on my pork bbq.
I have heard that and even though I am a Virginian, I still like Slaw on or with my BBQ. Thanks for Watching and for taking the time to comment.
Jessie was a controversial person. He did have a child with a black woman, and it was kept quiet. After his death, the daughter was interviewed by Oprah. As hard as Oprah tried, she was not able to succeed in trying to have his daughter speak ill of him. The daughter said she knew who her father was, he acknowledged her, financially supported her, and she had a relationship with her father. Despite his faults, as well all have, he did the right thing.

I think most of everyone's favorite episode was the episode where Lamont and Rollo found weed growing in the garden. But there were so many other good episodes I still watch the show daily. This will be one of the best TV shows ever took race the TV circuits rest in peace to those comedians that still make us laugh long after they passed
Her cousin was Richard Longs first wife-they were only married a short time before she passed away from cancer.
I loved her acting-funny-respectful-hated to read that she died. So hope she knew Jesus AND HE knew her
