ePub Satan in the Dance Hall: Rev. John Roach Straton; Social Dancing; and Morality in 1920s New York City by Ralph G. Giordano in History

Description

Noted Ranger historian Robert W. Black turns his attention to a trio of the Confederacy's and America's most infamous raiders; rangers; and cavalrymen: John Singleton Mosby; John Hunt Morgan; and Nathan Bedford Forrest. Combining speed; mobility and boldness; these three soldiers struck criticalt blows against the Union during the Civil War; including Morgan s notorious 1863 raid that penetrated farther north than any other uniformed Confederate force. While not overlooking their flaws; Black believes these men revolutionized warfare and sees them as forerunners of the Rangers and Special Forces of the modern era.
