So impressed was Confederate general Ewell by the gallantry of a certain Federal cavalry¹ officer in rallying his troops during the American Civil War that he ordered his soldiers to refrain from shooting him.

美国内战期间，南军将领尤厄尔见北军一位骑兵军官奋不顾身鼓舞麾下将士作战，敬他英勇，下令不要向他开枪。

Stonewall Jackson later chided Ewell for his noble sentiments. "Shoot the brave officers," he astutely² remarked, "and the cowards will run away and take their men with them."

但尤厄尔光风霁月的胸怀，却换得“石壁”杰克逊一顿训斥。杰克逊一针见血的指出：“打死勇敢的军官，怕死的就会带手下望风而逃。”
