Lee's Cavalrymen by Edward G Longacre
A companion to his previous work, Lincoln's Cavalrymen, this volume will focus on the confederate cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia - its leadership, the military life of its officers and men as revealed in their diaries and letters, the development of its tactics as the war evolved, and the influence of government policies on its operational abilities. All the major players are discussed and appraised, including Joseph E. Johnston, P.G.T Beauregard, and J.E.B. Stuart, and individual actions and battles are recounted in detail. As evidenced in his previous books, Longacre's painstakingly thorough research will make this volume as indispensable a reference as its predecessor.
"Longacre.. writes plainly but clearly, and provides abundant scholarly direction for those who wish to pursue further study." - Booklist
