A veteran of Morgan’s cavalry recounts the most daring Confederate horse operations: Forrest at Brice’s Cross Roads and Johnsonville, Hampton’s cattle raid, Morgan’s Kentucky raid and the capture of Hartsville, Wheeler in Tennessee, Shelby in Missouri, and Texans in Galveston harbour and New Mexico. Written in 1914, it is frankly Lost Cause in spirit and should be read as a partisan’s memorial.
Useful to students of Civil War cavalry tactics, and as a record of how Confederate veterans remembered the war. Download the free EPUB.
