Book excerpt: Although Arkansas joined the Confederate States of America in 1861, not all of its citizens supported secession. Arkansas formed some 48 infantry regiments to serve in the Confederate Army, but also formed another 11 regiments that served in the Union Army. The 2nd Arkansas Cavalry was organized at Helena, Arkansas and Pilot Knob, Missouri and mustered into Federal service in July 1862. It was made up of men from both Arkansas and Missouri. The regiment mostly saw quite a bit of scouting action during the war, but they were also engaged in a couple of fairly large battles. The regiment included 2 women, Mandy C. Johnson, F&S and Sarah Minton in Company D. Nearly 40 men were killed in an ambush at Richland Creek on May 3, 1864. Our records indicate 203 men died in the war. The regiment was mustered out August 20, 1865. Men from Phillips County, Arkansas and Iron County, Missouri enlisted in this regiment. Company D was mustered in February 19, 1864 at Springfield, Missouri by Captain John C. Bailey and was comprised generally of personnel from Newton and Carroll Counties in Arkansas. Battles: Jefferson City, Booneville, Lexington, Big Blue, Osage and Newtonia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this volume Stephen Z. Starr brings to a triumphant conclusion his prize-winning trilogy on the history of the Union cavalry.The War in the West provides accounts of the cavalry's role in the Vicksburg Campaign, the conquest of central Tennessee, Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, the March to the Sea, and the campaign of the Carolinas. Starr never neglects the numerous difficulties the cavalry faced: equipment shortages, inadequate weapons, unsuitable organization, and inept use of the cavalry by many members of the Union high command. And he never ignores the cavalry's own contributions to its failures. He convincingly demonstrates that in the end, in the battle of Nashville and in the Selma Campaign, the Union cavalry proved enormously effective. With this final volume Starr's objective remains "the portrayal of the life and campaigns of the Union cavalry as they were experienced and fought by its troopers and officers."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Union Cavalry in the Civil War, Volume II continues the story of the cavalry's operations in the East from July 1863 to Lee's surrender in 1865. Starr follows the role of the cavalry in the early Sheridan engagements in the Shenandoah Valley and the cavalry's march from Winchester, Virginia, to rejoin the Army of the Potomac in March 1865. The dynamic energy of the battles described here emanates from Philip Sheridan, the motivating power behind the cavalry's greatest success in the final April 1865 battles of Dinwiddie Court House, Five Forks, and Sayler's Creek. In addition to the descriptions of raids?Sheridan's Yellow Tavern and Trevilian Station raids and James H. Wilson's Staunton River raid?and operation of the cavalry in support of the Army of the Potomac, the volume covers the development of tactics and more effective leadership, increasing reliance on firepower, the growing strategic importance of the cavalry, and the establishment of the Cavalry Bureau.
