They were the epitome of Southern dash and chivalry, modern cavaliers in the modern American Civil War. George Dallas Mosgrove became one of them when he mounted a charger in Kentucky and rode off to Dixie to serve the cause of the Confederacy. Only eighteen years old, Mosgrove fought with some of the leading lights of the Southern cause as he risked life and limb with his comrades in battle. In a work of great affection and erudition that took him years to write, Mosgrove tells the true story of his time in arms with the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry Regiment. After the war, Mosgrove became a lawyer, got married and had a family, and published this work in 1895. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

Includes more than 20 Illustrations of the author’s unit and commanders. “George Dallas Mosgrove was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1844, and enlisted in the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry Regiment as a private on September 10, 1862. Through service as a clerk and orderly in both regimental and brigade headquarters, he became familiar with the environment of officers and command. His eyewitness account illuminates the western theater of the Civil War in Kentucky, east Tennessee, and southwest Virginia. Mosgrove admits to a romanticism influenced by Sir Walter Scott in his description of the superiority of the officers and "some of the boys" in his regiment. At the same time, his narrative includes unadorned passages that depict with stark honesty the sordidness of war and man’s inhumanity. Mosgrove provides firsthand information about military actions at Blue Springs, Saltville, and elsewhere, and relates details of his participation in John Hunt Morgan’s Last Kentucky Raid and the skirmish where Morgan was killed. Mosgrove’s highly entertaining account is a perceptive and informative retelling of the truth as he saw it.”-Print Ed.

An “exciting” Civil War history of the Confederate cavalrymen, Morgan’s Raiders, by the New York Times–bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (Kirkus Reviews). In this vibrant and thoroughly researched Civil War study, Dee Brown tells the story of Morgan’s Raiders, the Kentucky cavalrymen famed and feared for their attacks on the North. In 1861, Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan and his brother-in-law Basil Duke put together a group of formidable horsemen, and set to violent work. They began in their home state, staging raids, recruiting new soldiers, and intercepting Union telegraphs. Most were imprisoned after unsuccessful incursions into Ohio and Indiana years later, but some Raiders would escape, regroup, and fight again in different conflicts, participating in the so-called Great Conspiracy in Canada. The Bold Cavaliers is as engrossing in its historical detail as in its rich adventure. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

When Colonel John S. Scott came fresh from making a reputation with the Army of Virginia as a scout to form the First Louisiana Cavalry, Howell Carter was first in line. He served this Confederate cavalry regiment throughout much dangerous and bloody fighting.In this well-written and exciting account of the First Louisiana Cavalry, Howell paints the broad sweep of the American Civil War as he saw it on horseback in Company E. Articulate and witty, he also manages to entertain along the way, and he warns the reader:"...if the language in some conversations should sound coarse or indecorous it is because plain unvarnished tales are being told."This edition includes additional information about Carter's post-war life.
