CAV054  Lincoln�s Cavalrymen. A History of the Mounted Forces of the Army of the Potomac
Edward G. Longacre
The author consulted at least fifty manuscript collections pertaining to general officers of cavalry as well as the unpublished letters and diaries of more than 450 officers and enlisted men to produce this book.  It derives the organizational, administrative, and operational history of the mounted arm of �Mr. Lincoln�s Army.� It treats in detail all aspects of the cavalry�s service -- its life in camp, on the march, in battle and on expedition.  It covers the gamut of cavalry life  not only field operations, but also the recruiting, organizing, mounting, remounting, equipping, training, tactical instruction, and war-long support of this critical branch of the nineteenth-century army.
