Not a bad book, a bit academic with all the unit and troop movements with limited battle commentary. Hard to read consequently, but enough to keep me reading till I finished. This is Vol #1, won't read #2&3 because they are too time consuming. ( ) This is Volume one of a military history of the Federal Mounted Arm. It was a service that was suffering from the resignation of some of its best peacetime officers as they had gone south to the CSA. So it was starting from scratch. this Volume takes us up to Gettysburg in the East, and shows that it took a considerable time for the USA to rebuild its mounted forces. But they were showing considerable promise as evidenced by such actions as Grierson's Raid in the spring of 1863. It is well worth reading. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, Stephen Z. Starr covers in three volumes the dramatic story of the Union cavalry. In this first volume he presents briefly the story of the United States cavalry prior to the Civil War, describing how the Union cavalry was raised, organized, equipped, and trained, and offering detailed descriptions of the campaigns and battles in which the cavalry engaged -- the Peninsula, Shenandoah Valley/Second Bull Run, Lee's invasion of Maryland, Kelly's Ford, Stoneman's May 1863 Raid, Brandy Station (Fleetwood), Aldie-Middleburg-Upperville, and Gettysburg. Starr focuses on the officers and men of the Union cavalry -- who they were; how they lived, fought, behaved; what they thought. Starr tells their story -- drawn from regimental records and histories, memoirs, letters, diaries, and reminiscences -- whenever possible in the words of the troopers themselves.
