Beskrivning

This work traces the history of a remarkable troop of Hoosier horsemen--the East Wing of the Third Indiana Cavalry--during the Civil War. From the backwaters of the war in eastern Maryland to the epicenter of cavalry action in the eastern theater, they fought at Antietam, Brandy Station, Gettysburg and around Petersburg, and helped subdue Confederate forces in the Shenandoah Valley. Along the way they served as spies and fought in dozens of vicious skirmishes and battles. At Appomattox, they escorted one of the most famous generals to come out of the war.

“Match[es], if not excel[s], the highest compliment a dedicated Civil War bibliophile can earn, ‘Your words and sentences weave history into art...’ provides a broad canvas and revealing close-up of a subject even the most resolute aficionado knows nothing about...highly recommended...Goecker not only write[s] their rarely told stories in a readable and absorbing way, but also in a realistically fresh manner to the point history and personality are vivid, alive, absorbing. The research so obviously on display on virtually every page of his scholarship commingling with fine narrative skill, deserves special praise”—ARGunners Magazine
