Anotace knihy

'In full command of his voluminous resources and with a superbly crafted and captivating prose, Evans offers the reader descriptive passages told largely through the words of the participant - "Civil War Courier". 'This book is a gold mine for Civil War buffs' - Henry King Stanford, University of Georgia and Miami, from "Americus Times Recorder". 'This book is meticulously detailed and comes to some convincing conclusions' - Carl J. Guarneri, St. Mary's College of California, from the "Journal of American History". 'This volume is the most comprehensive study of Union Cavalry in the Atlanta Campaign' - Willard Carl, Wichita State University, found in "History".'Those seeking a richly detailed journal of the cavalry's role in one of the war's crucial campaigns will find this book irreplaceable' - Joe Kirby, "Blue and Gray Magazine". Lacking the troops and the desire to mount a long siege of Atlanta, in July 1864 William Tecumseh Sherman decided to try for a quick, decisive victory. Over the next seven weeks, Sherman's cavalry - under the command of General Rousseau, Garrard, Stoneman, McCook, and Kilpatrick - destroyed supplies and tore up miles of railroad track in an attempt to isolate the city. Through exhaustive research, David Evans has been able to recreate a vivid, captivating, and meticulously detailed image of the day-to-day life of the Yankee horse soldier. Based largely upon previously unpublished materials, "Sherman's Horsemen" provides the definitive account of this hitherto neglected aspect of the American Civil War.
