Description

Excerpt from Butler and His Cavalry in the War of Secession; 1861-1865An old man living in Kentucky during the Secession War had two sons; one enlisted in the Confederate Army and the other in the United States Army. Within twelve months one was brought home dead; and within a short time the other was brought home like his brother; having also been killed in battle. Both were buried in his garden s1de by side and this inscription was placed upon the monument: God alone knows which was right.It is not left with me to decide who was right or who was wrong. I think that some one should write a history of the gal lant deeds of the men who composed the brigade to which he belonged. I have attempted to write the history of Butler and his Cavalry. Though very imperfectly done; I console myself because it was the best I could do.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
