A horse soldier's excellent account of war against the Confederacy This is the best kind of military memoir. Its author, William Glazier decided-after the end of the war-that the general public should know more of the neglected activities of the Union Cavalry and, since he was an active participant within its ranks, he set out to rectify that shortcoming by writing this book. History may have subsequently revealed more such accounts than he imagined, but, of course, there is never enough of such valuable material. Glazier's account is revealed to be invaluable since he created it based upon a journal he kept all through his military experiences-making entries around the 'bivouac fire, in the camp and often during the lull of battle' ensuring accuracy and immediacy of impressions for later generations to benefit from. Here then is a vital account, filled with the personal experiences and anecdotes of a young officer of the 2nd New York Cavalry. We join him-and them-in the Army of the Potomac in Virginia and stay with him through many marches, skirmishes and battles-making this book an essential component of every library of the American Civil War.
