Summary "Mohun; Or, the Last Days of Lee and His Paladins" by John Esten Cooke is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the final days of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, focusing particularly on the adventures of cavalry officer J.E.B. Stuart and his experiences leading up to the significant battle of Gettysburg. Through the protagonist Colonel Surry, who serves on Stuart's staff, the narrative unveils themes of loyalty, valor, and the complexities of war. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Colonel Surry reflecting on his past experiences and the imminent challenges faced by the Confederate forces. The opening slice of the story captures a cavalry review led by Stuart in June 1863, showcasing the pomp and adrenaline of military life before the chaos of battle. Amidst this atmosphere, Colonel Surry receives orders from Stuart, hinting at their dynamic relationship, and is soon caught up in a dramatic reconnaissance ride. The narrative is rich with vivid descriptions of military life, the personalities of key figures such as Stuart and Lee, and foreshadows the impending tragedy of war that will befall these soldiers.
