Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history of the 2nd New Jersey Cavalry during two years of the Civil War, 1863-65. It is a story told from the point of view of one enlisted man in this regiment, the author's grandfather, Corporal S. Townsend Walmsley. All the cavalry characters are true, documented factually as a result of the author's own research into original documents, as well as narratives told to him by other family members. It is a story of human sacrifice for country and ideals and the maturation of young men who eagerly went to war as invincible warriors, only to find that value for life, like ideals, was also precious. The details of everyday living and the research of their training, as in horsemanship, personalize the accounts and give the reader a sense of participation in this important history. The author's access to primary sources, such as his grandfather's journal and letters sent home during the war, lend the book its vitality and humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This epic account is as thrilling and fast-paced as the raid itself and will quickly rival, if not surpass, Dee Brown’s Grierson’s Raid as the standard.” —Terrence J. Winschel, historian (ret.), Vicksburg National Military Park Winner, Operational/Battle History, Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Book Award Winner, Fletcher Pratt Literary Award, Civil War Round Table of New York There were other simultaneous operations to distract Confederate attention from the real threat posed by U. S. Grant’s Army of the Tennessee. Benjamin Grierson’s operation, however, mainly conducted with two Illinois cavalry regiments, has become the most famous, and for good reason: For 16 days (April 17 to May 2) Grierson led Confederate pursuers on a high-stakes chase through the entire state of Mississippi, entering the northern border with Tennessee and exiting its southern border with Louisiana. Throughout, he displayed outstanding leadership and cunning, destroyed railroad tracks, burned trestles and bridges, freed slaves, and created as much damage and chaos as possible. Grierson’s Raid broke a vital Confederate rail line at Newton Station that supplied Vicksburg and, perhaps most importantly, consumed the attention of the Confederate high command. While Confederate Lt. Gen. John Pemberton at Vicksburg and other Southern leaders looked in the wrong directions, Grant moved his entire Army of the Tennessee across the Mississippi River below Vicksburg, spelling the doom of that city, the Confederate chances of holding the river, and perhaps the Confederacy itself. Based upon years of research and presented in gripping, fast-paced prose, Timothy B. Smith’s The Real Horse Soldiers captures the high drama and tension of the 1863 horse soldiers in a modern, comprehensive, academic study. Readers will find it fills a wide void in Civil War literature.

Book excerpt: The soldier-horse relationship was nurtured by The British Army because it made the soldier and his horse into an effective fighting unit. Soldiers and their Horses explores a complex relationship forged between horses and humans in extreme conditions. As both a social history of Britain in the early twentieth century and a history of the British Army, Soldiers and their Horses reconciles the hard pragmatism of war with the imaginative and emotional. By carefully overlapping the civilian and the military, by juxtaposing "sense" and "sentimentality," and by considering institutional policy alongside individual experience, the soldier and his horse are re-instated as co-participators in The Great War. Soldiers and their Horses provides a valuable contribution to current thinking about the role of horses in history.

Book excerpt: The American Civil War from the saddle The author of this book was just 17 years old when the shells began to fall on Fort Sumter heralding the coming storm of the American Civil War. Determined to play his part he rushed to enlist in the Zouaves, but instead found himself in the ranks of the New York Cavalry. Although he 'started at the bottom' his zeal earned him successive promotions and a rapid commission as an officer. Meyer's absorbing first hand account takes the reader to war in the ranks of the troopers in blue on many campaigns and battlefields of the American Civil War including Second Bull Run, the Stoneman Raid, Brandy Station, Aldie, Middleburgh, Upperville, Bucklands Mill and many others. Henry Meyer combines the activities of his regiment with intimate accounts of his own experiences to create a fine eyewitness view of the war of the Union horse soldiers. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a smart, energetic, and courageous cavalry officer joins forces with a really amazing horse with similar qualities? Well, just about anything! Given the right circumstances, this team of two exceptional individuals might even change the course of history.Based in part on the exciting saga of "Sheridan's Ride," which occurred during the Battle of Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864, this "true tale" introduces the young reader to the richness of Civil War stories by retracing the life of Winchester, the black horse of General "Little Phil" Sheridan, from the young colt's first experiences in the U.S. Army through his retirement after the war.Extensively researched – but written with the young student in mind – this historical narrative is an enjoyable fast-paced read for all ages. The reader is certain to come away with a greater appreciation for why good character always counts, and why Winchester the horse, who had plenty of it, is the most honored animal in U.S. military history.To further the youthful reader's understanding of the subject matter – and to foster a conversation about the plot and the main themes of the Civil War between students, parents, and teachers – the author has included a useful list of discussion questions (with suggested answers), a glossary of terms, easy-to-understand maps, a list of additional resources, and suggestions of places for students to visit.The author, Bruce D. Slawter, is a retired Air Force officer and Energy Department official living in Northern Virginia. He has given numerous talks on the Civil War to audiences of all ages. The author has traveled the globe on business and during vacations with his family, always searching for exciting fact-based stories along the way. He is thrilled to have discovered Winchester in his own backyard and to be able to introduce the saga of this unusual American hero to a new generation.

Book excerpt: A horse soldier's excellent account of war against the Confederacy This is the best kind of military memoir. Its author, William Glazier decided-after the end of the war-that the general public should know more of the neglected activities of the Union Cavalry and, since he was an active participant within its ranks, he set out to rectify that shortcoming by writing this book. History may have subsequently revealed more such accounts than he imagined, but, of course, there is never enough of such valuable material. Glazier's account is revealed to be invaluable since he created it based upon a journal he kept all through his military experiences-making entries around the 'bivouac fire, in the camp and often during the lull of battle' ensuring accuracy and immediacy of impressions for later generations to benefit from. Here then is a vital account, filled with the personal experiences and anecdotes of a young officer of the 2nd New York Cavalry. We join him-and them-in the Army of the Potomac in Virginia and stay with him through many marches, skirmishes and battles-making this book an essential component of every library of the American Civil War.

Book excerpt: The US Cavalry and Indian tribes at war The author of this book was a young officer in the Union Army-a cavalryman of the 7th Iowa Cavalry-when in 1863, after the Battle of Gettysburg, he was ordered to the Western frontier to assist in dealing with potential uprisings by the Indian tribes in Omaha. Fortunately for posterity he decided to keep a daily journal and this together with reference to the lengthy correspondence he sent to his family concerning his activities has enabled the author to leave us a substantial, highly detailed and well written account of army life on the frontier and Indian warfare from the perspective of the horse soldier. This is an interesting and engaging book about a 'war within a war' against a formidable, elusive, fierce and resolute enemy. The scenes in which Indian forces literally surround the writer's beleaguered garrison are especially riveting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cavalry operations during the Gettysburg campaign have been well covered, but never like this. Most cavalry treatments of the campaign and battle have focused on strategy, operations, and tactics and zoomed in on particular episodes: the Battle of Brandy Station in June 1863 (the largest cavalry engagement on American soil), Jeb Stuart’s controversial ride-for-glory that deprived Lee of important intelligence for days, Union cavalry general John Buford’s role in the start of the battle on July 1, and the cavalry battle involving not only Stuart but also George Armstrong Custer east of Gettysburg on July 3. Daniel Murphy’s book covers the grand sweep of cavalry in the Gettysburg campaign, from Lee’s crossing of the Rappahannock in early June 1863, through the epic three-day clash in Pennsylvania, to the conclusion of Lee’s retreat in July 1863. But more than that, in a book blending strategy and tactics and campaign narrative with deep research in primary sources and an equestrian’s sense for what it’s like to ride and manage horses, Daniel Murphy brings a horseman’s eye to the story of the campaign: how individual cavalrymen experienced the campaign from the saddle and how horses—with special needs for care and maintenance—were in fact weapons that helped shape battles. In this new narrative of Civil War cavalry, author Daniel Murphy gets into the saddle and explores what it was like to be a cavalryman during the Gettysburg campaign. Horse-soldiering was a unique way of doing battle, and Murphy gives it more justice and nuanced description than any author has yet given it.
