DESCRIPTION:
Cavalry. Official reports are excerpted when appropriate to provide the commander's view of the regiment's performance.. This is the first scholarly history of the only regular army cavalry regiment raised during the Civil War. The regiment's initial cast of officers included two grandsons of a former president, a cousin of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, two cousins of the governor of Pennsylvania, the son of a Radical Republican senator who opposed President Lincoln, and a number of enlisted soldiers promoted from the ranks. These include dairies and letters of officers and enlisted soldiers alike, several of which are previously unpublished. Unlike volunteer regiments raised by individual states, the regular regiments drew soldiers from across the country.
