Download or read book Three Years in the Federal Cavalry Illustrated written by Willard Glazier and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-19 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Years in the Federal Cavalry chronicles the years Willard W. Glazier spent in the mounted service of the United States. This edition includes the original illustrations of people he knew and events he experienced. An eye-opening account of how the Union cavalry operated during the American Civil War, this book offers a first-hand account of one cavalryman's experiences from the time he enlisted in April 1961 through to his capture by Confederate forces in October 1863. Between these dates, Glazier's unit was involved in many conflicts, their roles often pivotal and their gallantry unquestionable. Willard W. Glazier was at the front line in several key conflicts throughout the American Civil War. He and his fellow cavalrymen fought in Maryland and Virginia under multiple prominent commanders such as McClellan and Burnside. Glazier is careful to balance the excitement and chaos of battle with the more mundane realities of fighting a war. Everyday camp life and the conversations the officers would have among themselves, and the journeys between the battlefields, receive due consideration. Considered today to be a classic biography for its honest readability, Glazier's account of his military service remains popularly read to this day. Whether you harbor a general interest in the U. S. Civil War or the American cavalry as a unit, or simply enjoy good autobiography, this is a title worthy of attention.

Book excerpt: Against the Khalsa and Mutineers in nineteenth century India Originally titled, Cavalry Experiences and Leaves From My Journal, this book by Henry Ouvry is comprised of his correspondence and private writings whilst serving as a British officer of regular light cavalry in India during the middle years of the Victorian era. Originally an infantry officer, Ouvry suffered a leg injury whilst serving in Canada which necessitated his transfer to the mounted arm. As a troop commander during the Second Sikh War with H. M 3rd Light Dragoons he experienced the campaign in full measure and his detailed reports on the cavalry engagements in which he took part are vital and well written source material. Particularly fascinating is his description of the management of his troop under battlefield conditions. After a transfer to H. M 9th Lancers Ouvry saw hard campaigning during the Indian Mutiny which erupted in 1857. The 9th Lancers earned a fearsome reputation as the 'Delhi Spearmen' and it is clear that Ouvry took his full part in what he considered to be justifiable retribution and vengeance. It is particularly interesting to note that his letters were often addressed to his wife 'Mittie' who was with him on the sub-continent. Mrs M. H Ouvry also wrote a book, published by Leonaur as A Lady's Indian Mutiny Diary, which of course touches on many of the same topics raised in her husbands writing and thus vitally completes the historical record. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Service in the U. S. Colored Cavalry: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion, March 4, 1908 Having served over two years in a good, hard-fighting infantry regiment, and being encamped at Newport News, Va., holding the dignified rank of Sergeant. I one day met our little fighting Major John G. Chambers who asked me if I would like a commission in the 1 st U.S. Colored Cavalry, then forming at Fort Monroe, to which I made answer that I would and two or three days thereafter I received an order, mustering me out of the service and also an order to report to Colonel Garrard for duty as an officer of the new regiment. Early the next morning, going down to the wharf to embark for Ft. Monroe. I showed to the sentry on the wharf (as my authority for leaving) the order mustering me out. He looked it over and said in a home-sick way, "I would give$800 for that paper." I reported to Colonel Garrard, and for the first time saw this officer with whose reputation as a brave and efficient Major of the 3d N. Y. Cavalry Thad been well acquainted in the Department of North Carolina. This regiment, being the first colored cavalry regiment, had in its ranks a rather better class of men than the infantry regiments had; some being from the North and some being the outlaw negroes who, in slavery times, had been able to maintain their liberty in the swamps of Eastern Virginia and North Carolina. The regiment was officered largely from the 3d N. Y. Cavalry, and they were a thoroughly efficient and capable corps of officers. The regiment was soon filled, mounted and equipped, and constant drill soon made it have the manner and bearing of soldiers. Every one knew that the Campaign of 1864 meant business, and therefore all was in readiness when about May 1 st orders came to move. We marched out through Hampton, of which not one house was left except the little old stone church which is still standing there. Through Big Bethel, the scene of one of the earliest disasters of the war, to Yorktown, memorable for its two sieges in two wars, and thence on to Williamsburg, passing between Yorktown and Williamsburg our infantry who, much to our surprise were marching very hurriedly back to Yorktown. We learned afterward they were put on board transports at Yorktown and sent up the James to City Point and Bermuda Hundred. The next day we went up the Peninsula, passing 6 and 12 Mile and burnt ordinarys, camping at night at New Kent Court House.
