The History in Words and Pictures Series is a thoughtfully selected collection of historical works, edited to a modern reading experience and supplemented with archived and contemporary photography. Written by James Kidd, an officer serving under General George Armstrong Custer during the Civil War, PERSONAL RECOLECTIONS OF A CAVALRYMAN begins with vivid accounts of the events leading up to the war, when Kidd was a young man living in Michigan. Kidd's journey continues from the outset of hostilities to Gettysburg, where Custer's brilliant actions against Jeb Stuart's cavalry were pivotal in the Union victory. Later, Kidd has an encounter in Washington D.C. with a mysterious man who turns out to be John Wilkes Booth, the future Lincoln assassin. This fascinating story allows us to experience history in the words and visions of those who made it.
