The South has made much of J. E. B. Stuart and Stonewall Jackson, but no individual has had a greater elevation to divine status than John Pelham, remembered as the Gallant Pelham. An Alabama native, Pelham left West Point for service in the Confederacy and distinguished himself as an artillery commander in Robert E. Lees Army of Northern Virginia. Lee is reported to have said of him, It is glorious to see such courage in one so young! Blond, blueeyed, and handsome, Pelhams modest demeanor charmed his contemporaries, and he was famously attractive to women. He was killed in action at the battle of Kellys Ford in March of 1863, at twentyfour years of age, and reportedly three young women of his acquaintance donned mourning at the loss of the Souths beau ideal. Maxwells work provides the first deeply researched biography of Pelham, perhaps Alabamas most notable Civil War figure, and explains his enduring attraction.
