Sculptor Retained For Proposed Statue of Young "Jeb" Stuart at Laurel Hill The Board of Directors of the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Trust, Inc., is pleased to announce the commission of noted sculptor Allen F. Weidhaas of Stuart, Virginia. After much agonizing about an earlier equestrian design that portrayed the General at the peak of his career, the focus has been placed "closer to home"; Laurel Hill is where the noted Civil War figure was born and raised for the first part of his life, therefore, the sculpture shall reflect the beginning rather than the end (however glorious!) Reprinted From: The J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Web Site Home Page (www.jebstuart.org) Above concept model by Allen F. Weidhaas, September 2000. This project is currently in the fund raising phase.
