Early
JUBAL ANDERSON, an American military officer; born in Franklin co., Va., Nov. 3, 1816; graduated at West Point, and served in the Florida and Mexican wars. During most of the years 1838-1861, however, he practiced law in his native State. On the outbreak of the Civil War he entered the Confederate service as a colonel, and commanded a brigade at Bull Run, and a division at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. In 1864, after some successes, he was defeated by Sheridan in several battles; and, Custer having also routed him at Waynesboro in March, 1865, he was relieved of his command a few days later.
He subsequently returned to the practice of law. In 1867 he published "A Memoir of the Last Year of the War for Independence in the Confederate States." He died March 2, 1894.
