About This Book
The narrative recounts the formation, organization, and wartime service of a Confederate Texas cavalry regiment, tracing its marches, skirmishes, and major engagements across Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia. It blends campaign chronicle with personal recollections—retreats, raids, charges, supply shortages, severe weather, and the toll on men and horses—culminating in later raids and the regiment's final operations. The author frames the account as a memorializing effort, assembled from reunion memories and memoir fragments, and includes reflections on camaraderie, hardship, religious meetings, and the monument conceived by veterans. Chapters follow chronological campaigns and notable encounters, balancing tactical description with anecdote and soldierly detail.
