“He was constantly on the lines, riding with firm graceful seat, looking every inch a soldier.  Like General Lee, he was rarely much attended.  One staff officer and a single courier formed his usual escort, and often he made the rounds alone.  Of ordinary height, his figure was slight but athletic, his carriage erect, and his dress plainly neat.  His expression was grave but gentle, his manner so courteous as almost to lack decision, but was contradicted by rigidity about the mouth and chin, and bright flashing eyes that even in repose told another tale.  In moments of excitement he never lost self-control nor composure of demeanor, but his glance was sharp as an eagles, and his voice could take a metallic ring”
