"Harry Gilmor is one of the more interesting players in the sub-plot of partisan warfare along the upper Potomac. Tim Ackinclose's study of Gilmor is both scholarly & well written. It is a valuable contribution to Civil War literature."--Ted Alexander, Park Historian, Antietam National Battlefield. "Colonel Harry Gilmor has been overlooked too long as the subject of in-depth attention by serious historians. Mr. Ackinclose has now filled the gap with his well-researched biography of a fascinating wartime personality. His comprehensive work immediately sets the standard against which any future Gilmor biography must be measured."--P. James Kurapka, Sons of Confederate Veterans. "Mr. Ackinclose's biography challenges previous assumptions regarding Gilmor's role in the Civil War. Using the partisan's own memoirs as a guide, the author has scrupulously examined every event & detail to reveal the true nature of Harry Gilmor's exploits. This study provides fresh insight into partisan activities during the war & makes for dramatic reading."--David Dixon, Ph.D. "Mr. Ackinclose has vividly brought to life a true hell-for-leather Confederate horse soldier. As the author demonstrates in this thoroughly researched study, Harry Gilmor embodied the 'Cavalry Spirit'."--Michael Phipps.
