Excerpt from History of the United States Cavalry: From the Formation of the Federal Government to the 1st of June, 1863, A List of All of the Cavalry Regiments, With the Names of Their Commanders, Which Have Been in the United States Service Since the Breaking Out of the RebellionFor a long time I have thought that a History of the United States Cavalry Service ought to be written. I thought that such a work would not only be interesting to the public, but would be doing justice to the officers and soldiers who belonged to it. Thinking thus, and seeing that no person had undertaken the task, i took it upon myself to do it So far as I know, no history of our Cavalry service has ever been written up to this time. I know my work has many imperfections, as, while writ ing it, I have been in active campaign against the rebels at Atlanta and elsewhere, and have not been able to pro cure the necessary books and papers to make as thorough and complete a work of it as I could have desired, still, it contains many truths which have been hidden from the public, and does justice to our horsemen, who, in too many cases, have been entirely overlooked.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
