Julianne Moores ancestors supported the Confederacy.
Maybe not. She grew up in the South, but her father was in the Army and they lived on bases. Her parents grew up in New Jersey and her mother had been born in Scotland (hence the red hair, I guess).

My daughter graduated from Joseph E. Wheeler High School. Even though Wheeler had been a Lieutenant General in the Army of the Confederacy, he was rehabilitated so to speak, and served in the US Volunteers with a commission of Major General by President McKinley for the duration of the Spanish American War, serving in Cuba and the Philippines. Hopefully they will not try to change the name.

It was an excellent movie but not good history at all.

Jeb Stuart was a great man, like Benedict Arnold.
Julliane Moore, meh.

She must have a >>great<< plastic surgeon because she looks better at 52 then she did at 32.

Nothing at all against either profession. I could have said any occupation. In fact, I doubt Julianne Moore could handle the considerable concentration or responsibility needed to succeed in either line of employment. She is just another low IQ actress who thinks her opinion is superior to others.
To: Clintonfatigued
I try not to watch movies with her in it. Hard to do since she has been in some wonderful ones. I can’t stand her because she admitted she aborted one her babies and was “proud” of her descision. How can you be proud of that? How?
To: Clintonfatigued
Never heard of her, but I sure know Stuart!

Stuart was undoubtedly a great man and a great cavalry commander. Would you really rate him over Nathan Bedford Forrest? Or in the modern mechanized cavalry George S. Patton, Jr.? They were both Southern by heritage. I believe that Forrest suffered a certain lack of stature among Confederate leaders because he lacked much formal education but few fought and led more capably and forcefully on the battlefield. If Stonewall Jackson had not died and he and Forrest had served under, the result at Gettysburg might well have been very different.
In any event, Julianne Moore can take her silly impertinent Hollyweird nonsense and put it where the sun shineth not. Acting in a few movies does not make her fit to muck the stalls of Stuart's horses.

1st Cavalry Regiment, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory. Operations against the Cheyenne and against rabid abolitionists terrorizing the territory. Wounded July 1857 in skirmish with Cheyenne during a saber charge under his commander Sumner.
While seeking re-appointment with the Quartermaster dept, in Washington, DC, he volunteered to accompany R.E. Lee as aide-de-camp to Harper’s Ferry to secure the arsenal there. A man calling himself Isaac Smith led the group holding the arsenal. From his experiences fighting in Bleeding Kansas, he recognized and identified “”Old Ossawatomie Brown”—ie. John Brown.
It is a matter of public record. Not “the movies” of fantasist looney visions.

I said that Stuart was in Kansas and fought the Cheyenne, and that he served with Lee at Harper's Ferry.
I don't see any evidence that Stuart was fighting John Brown in Kansas.
The army arrived after the Battle of Black Jack to restore order, but I don't see where it took sides or participated in the warfare.

The greatest American cavalry commander in history. I imagine there are those who would say that Nathan Bedford Forrest was better.

1rst Regimental records. Stuart promoted in Dec. 1855, and they were employed keeping the peace, until Brown left in Oct/Nov. 1856, having lost a son and whole lot else.
Regiment had run-ins with Brown and others, as well as pro-slavery people throughout 1856. During 1856 is when Brown and the command had several contacts with Brown. This was how Stuart was able to ID Brown in 1859 at Harper’s Ferry.
By 1857, Brown is gone and the regiment is more engaged in suppression of the Cheyenne.
