History of Morgan's Cavalry

This work offers a vivid portrait of a cavalry unit forged in the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War, following the daring exploits of its leader and the men who rode beside him. Drawing on the author’s own memories and the few surviving records, it paints the raids, skirmishes, and long rides that defined those four intense years, while also honoring the women who supported the soldiers back home. The narrative balances personal admiration with a careful attempt at factual accuracy, acknowledging the gaps that the fast‑moving nature of the campaign inevitably left.

Readers will feel the rhythm of hooves and the tension of sudden engagements, as well as the camaraderie that bound the troopers together. Maps and illustrations help bring the terrain to life, and the author’s candid reflections on bias and myth invite listeners to consider how legend and reality intertwine. The book stands as both a tribute to a controversial figure and a glimpse into a turbulent chapter of American history.
