Civil War Experiences / under Bayard, Gregg, Kilpatrick, Custer, Raulston, and Newberry, 1862, 1863, 1864

A cavalry officer's memoir recounts enlistment and successive field service under several mounted commanders during the Civil War, describing raids, reconnaissance, major engagements, wounds, hospital treatment, and furloughs. Organized chronologically by campaign, the narrative covers refitting, skirmishing, and set-piece battles such as Brandy Station, Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, and Petersburg operations, while recording encounters with fellow soldiers and officers. It blends tactical description with personal recollection of command changes, morale, the practicalities of cavalry life, and interactions with civilians, concluding with postwar reflections and brief biographical notes on comrades and commanders.
