Great works everyone of them!By Richard MontgomeryI have read a number of these Cavalry histories. They are very thorough and offer information not found in books that just cover the main battles.These tell you situations involving skirmishes and and exactly who and what troop is involved. If you are a intermediate Civil War buff or expert you will enjoy being able to take in more information than most on the subject.A definite must have for the Civil War fanatic! I love them.
