I cna't believe it took me this long to figure this one out.

 

Gareth Bryne is Robert E. Lee.

 

Bluff, Stocky, Graying.  Absolute Gentleman.  Both riding a favorite horse named Traveler.

 

Which is kind of funny when you consider the name, Gareth, first appeared as King Arthur's favorite dog (from childhood) in "A Once and Future King."

 

 

You wouldn't expect a good suth'run boy to leave the South's greatest hero out of his epic, would you?

Yup. He's also in a rather similar position, a principled man of the establishment who's become a rebel. Though this time he's the besieger rather than the besieged (Tar Valon/Peterson)

 

I can't wait to see him in action in the open field. If he's anything like Lee as a general than he's going to be a man who believes in the offensive.

Has RJ ever been asked about this?

Actually, the name Gareth appears in Malory's Morte d'Arthur as that of a knight of the Round Table, formerly a kitchen boy, and younger brother of Sir Gawain.

RJ has said he liked useing history in his books. So its not surpiseing

Which is probably where T.H White got the name for his book. 

 

I've read both.

    Just curious, Who would be Gareth Bryne's "Stonewall Jackson"? Even though he's not with him at the moment, I would put Lan.

 

I don't know about Stonewall Jaskson but Uno Nomesta, as cavalary commander, would certainly be a more reliable version of J.E.B. Stuart.

Do we know how commands Bryne's infantry? I can't remember.

 

Anyways because of the different role of cavalry in this kind of army it's hard to compare. Uno might take up both roles here. (Jakson and Stuart)

 

 

lol, i thought bryne commanded his infantry...

::) Obviously he has generals under him, commanding subsections of his army.
