I am not the quickest of readers but the reading is easy; and Ms. Hawkins provides much person insight in the men and their horses. I originally bought the book to read about my cousin John Hunt Morgan. However i became engrossed in the book just reading about General Lee and Traveller. I would highly recommend this book not just to those who are interested in the War Between the States; but a very good read for anyone.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
