Jubal Early: The Confederate Point Man in Niagara-on-the-Lake

During the last two years of the war, the Confederacy was thus well represented by agents and friends in the environs of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Of these, however, only Beverly Tucker became one of the postbellum exiles in the town.

After the end of the war, the point man for the Confederate exiles in Niagara-on-the-Lake was Jubal Early, who arrived in the summer of 1866. He continued to live principally in Toronto, but often stayed for extended periods in Niagara. He remained in Canada until the spring of 1869.
