| Summary: | "This study chronicles the numerous challenges that occupied officers and politicians, as well as the harrowing existence of the troopers in the field. The Union Cavalry Comes of Age shows that the Northern cavalry began helping to turn the tide of war much earlier than is generally acknowledged and became the largest, best-mounted, and best-equipped force of horse soldiers the world had ever seen. Remarkable in its depth of research and analysis, it is a major contribution to our understanding of the role of cavalry in the Civil War."--Jacket. |
