Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I tohua a Stewart hei rangatira pirihimana i te Noema 8 ka tohaina ki te whakahau i te 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, Columbus District, o te Tari Confederate No. E rua (ko te kaikawe ki te Tari o Tennessee), i raro i a Leonidas Polk. I noho a Stewart i tenei tuunga mai i te Noema 16 tae noa ki tera Tihema, i te wa i whakawhitihia ai tana pereti ki te Tari Tuatahi o te Tari, tae noa ki te Hui-tanguru 1862. I whakahokia tana parirau ki te hauauru o Kentucky, i taapirihia mo te wa poto ki te wehenga a John P. McCown, e arahi ana i nga paruru o te taone i te Pakanga o New Madrid i mua i te whakahau a McCown kia nekehia atu ka hoki ki raro i te awa o Mississippi. I te 1 o Paenga-whāwhā, ka hono atu nga tangata a Stewart ki te wehenga a Charles Clark, i roto i te ope a Leonidas Polk, o te ope a Albert Sidney Johnston o Mississippi, i te wa tika mo te
Te Pakanga o Hiroa. I reira, i arahi a Stewart i tana pereti i nga whakaeke o te ra tuatahi ki te rohe "Hornet's Nest" i te pokapū o te raina o te Uniana.
