Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Edmondson Jones, known as Grumble Jones, (May 3, 1824 June 5, 1864) was a planter, a career United States Army officer, and a Confederate cavalry general, killed in the American Civil War. Jones was born in Washington County, Virginia. After graduating from Emory and Henry College in Virginia in 1844, he graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1848 and was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the U.S. Mounted Rifles. He served with the cavalry fighting Indians in the west until he resigned his commission in 1857 to become a farmer. His nickname, "Grumble", reflects his irritable disposition, undoubtedly exacerbated by the death of his wife, who was washed from his arms in a shipwreck shortly after their marriage in 1852 while enroute to Texas.
