About This Book

A veteran's collection of reminiscences recounts cavalry operations during the Civil War, presenting chapter-length narratives of raids, skirmishes and campaigns led by figures such as Morgan, Forrest, Stuart, Wheeler, Hampton, Shelby and Marmaduke. It combines vivid battle sketches, maps and portraits with tactical observations on reconnaissance, endurance, rapid movement and the disruption of enemy supply lines. Personal anecdotes and reflective passages highlight leadership, daring and the logistical strains of mounted warfare while surveying a wide range of engagements across multiple theaters.
