If you like the Cold Harbor book, you might want to check out Rhea's other three books. BTW, my name is Forrest, and, no, I was not named after Nathan Bedford Forrest!
Patton had several Confederate ancestors, his father was a friend of John Mosby. Stuart was killed in 1864 at Yellow Tavern so it's not possible for Patton to have known him.
Longstreet was ostracized by much of the south after the war. He was a friend of US Grant's and I believe accepted a position offered by Grant. Longstreet's memoirs, written long after the war, criticized Lee for Gettysburg and did not go over well with Lost Cause writers such as Early. Not that Early and Longstreet were ever friends. One of the reasons that it took forever for a statue of Longstreet to be erected at Gettysburg.
