Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Fourth Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteer Cavalry: From the Organization of the Regiment, August, 1861, to Its 50th Anniversary, August, 1911; Based on the Book of 1890 At first the novelty of camp life, of bright uniforms, of military drill excited him to dreams of future greatness; he knew that the atten tion of the whole world was focused on him personally; he heard much of a soldier's duty, and of praise for his progress in military tactics from the general orders of his commanding officer. So he swaggered a bit was eager for dress parade and intensely interested in the impression his regiment made. Gradually he evolved into the seasoned soldier, and as the work grew more exhausting, dangerous, and life grew grimmer, he found himself too close to and too vitally concerned with the big issues to com ment much on them. It was not his business to talk, but to work, and where history gives us glowing and stirring narratives of great battles, the common soldier has left a few laconic lines in his diary, and' tells of the trivial things in his letters home. After the lapse of years these few lines often serve to galvanize his memory - he lives over again stirring events, has time now to feel, Where in the stress of battle he must con serve all his energies for action. He recalls now that he was just a strong, young fellow with youth's appetite for food, pleasure and adventure, Often homesick for the comforts and companionship of his little home town, but Willing to endure his new life because he was a good American citizen, born with a sense of liberty, equality and justice; willing to fight for their maintenance. It was the enthusiasm and endurance of the American boy from seventeen to twenty-two years of age which really sustained the Union. It is to commemorate such a part, played by the soldiers of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, that this work has been compiled as a memorial to their youth on the fiftieth anniversary of their call to arms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the outset of the Civil War, the cavalry of the Army of the Ohio (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee) was a fledgling force beginning an arduous journey that would make it the best cavalry in the world. In late 1862, most of this cavalry was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland and a second cavalry force emerged in the second Army of the Ohio. Throughout the war, these regiments fought in some of the most important military operations of the war, including Camp Wildcat; Mill Springs; the siege of Corinth; raids into East Tennessee; the capture of Morgan during his Great Raid; and the campaigns of Middle Tennessee, Perryville, Knoxville, Atlanta, and Nashville. This is their complete history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During its two-year history, the cavalry of the Army of the Cumberland fought the Confederates in some of the most important actions of the Civil War, including Stones River, Chickamauga, the Tullahoma Campaign, the pursuit of Joseph Wheeler in October 1863 and the East Tennessee Campaign. They battled with legendary Confederate cavalry units commanded by Nathan Bedford Forrest, John Hunt Morgan, Wheeler and others. By October 1864, the cavalry grew from eight regiments to four divisions--composed of units from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee--before participating in Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, where the Union cavalry suffered 30 percent casualties. This history of the Army of the Cumberland's cavalry units analyzes their success and failures and re-evaluates their alleged poor service during the Atlanta Campaign.
