Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Union General Philip Kearny began his career as a lieutenant with the 1st U.S. Dragoons. He studied cavalry tactics in France and fought with the Chasseurs d'Afrique in Algeria, where his fearlessness earned him the nickname "Kearny le Magnifique." Returning to America, he wrote a cavalry manual for the U.S. Army and later raised a troop of dragoons--using his own money to buy 120 matching dapple-gray mounts for his men--and led them during the Mexican War, where he lost an arm. This biography chronicles the military life of one of the most talented field officers in the Army of the Potomac at the outbreak of the Civil War, who famously led a charge at the Battle of Williamsburg with his reins in his teeth, and sometimes disobeyed General George McClellan, once protesting an order to retreat as "prompted by cowardice or treason." Kearny was on the verge of higher command when he was killed at the 1862 Battle of Chantilly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philip Kearny: Soldier and Patriot, an Address Delivered Before the New-Jersey Historical Society I have been able to learn little of his childhood and youth. His schoolmates speak of him as a delicate boy, averse to violent sports, and holding himself somewhat aloof from promiscuous companion ship. He was not a student, nor apparently in anywise ambitious of distinction. One relative, himself an enthusiast in military literature, represents him as having always had the greatest interest in those matters. Together, he says, they studied the battles of great captains, and with mimic soldiers fought them over again addressing themselves with industry to master the details of the engagements of Caesar Marlborough, and Napoleon, and, with maps and models before them, repeating the strategic moves upon which the fate of nations so often hung.
