Jackson's staff, was transferred to that of General J. E. B. Stuart at the death of Jackson in 1863; and after Stuart's death, he was Inspector-General of the horse artillery of the Army of Northern Virginia till the close of the war.

His novels deal with the life and history of Virginia, the best known of them being ”Surry of Eagle's Nest,” which is said to be partly autobiographical. They hold well the popular favor. His ”Stories of the Old Dominion” are specially interesting to Virginians.
