Book excerpt: The historian and author of Whip the Rebellion shares “an excellent popular history of Civil War cavalry” from the outbreak of war to its bitter end (Booklist). Many accounts of the Civil War battles, armies, and key figures have been written over the years, but none have looked at the bloodiest war in our nation’s history through the eyes of the cavalry. The horse soldiers in the Civil War are often referred to as the last of the cavaliers, men who valued their honor as much as their cause. In this sweeping history, George Walsh brings to life anew the gallant horse soldiers of the North and South, showing in dramatic detail how their raids and expeditions affected the outcome of the war and how their fortunes waxed and waned. Walsh offers vivid portraits of cavalrymen such as Fitzhugh Lee, son of Confederate commanding general Robert E. Lee; the “Gray Ghost” John Singleton Mosby; the young and fiery George Armstrong Custer; and many others.
