"...there was not an officer in the army of his rank, who stood higher in the estimation of our higher officers, in point of courage, military ability and enterprise than he, and there was no one of greater popularity and influence among our generals, or one who commanded greater respect or inspired greater confidence among the fighting men than Chew, and I regard him as one of the very best artillery officers I ever knew, and indeed, one of the very best officers of his rank in the Confederate Army." - Thomas Rosser, in a letter to Mr. Thornton Perry after the war.
