Excerpt from Some Personal Reminiscences of Service in the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac In this connection it may be well to quote the following extract from an arti. Cle in the Century Magazine of May, 1888, by Colonel William F. Fox, entitled The Chances of being hit. In Battle: The muster-out rolls of the various mounted commands show that there were ten thousand five hundred and ninety six 'dead cavalrymen' who were killed in action during the war, of whom six hundred and seventy-one were officers, the proportionate loss of officers being greater than in the infantry.

At the earnest solicitation of my many military friends, I have thrown together some reminiscences of my personal experience as a cavalryman during the late War of the Rebellion. Though my four years of campaigning began with a three months' tour of tramping with the "dough-boys" under General Patterson in the spring and early summer of 1861, the latter was only a prolonged picnic. Two days before I was mustered out of the Ninth Pennsylvania Infantry I enrolled myself in the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, and soon discovered that I was more fitted for riding a horse than for trudging through the slush and mud with a heavy "Harper's Ferry" musket on my shoulder.I will pass over the tedious instructions of the school of the trooper, mounted and dismounted, and begin my reminiscences as a full-fledged Yankee cavalryman.

Some Personal Reminiscences of Service in the Cavalry - The Army of the Potomac By Colonel Hampton S. Thomas The Army of the Potomac was the major Union Army in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. The Army of the Potomac underwent many structural changes during its existence. The army was divided by Ambrose Burnside into three grand divisions of two corps each with a Reserve composed of two more. Hooker abolished the grand divisions. Thereafter the individual corps, seven of which remained in Virginia, reported directly to army headquarters. (Joseph Hooker also created a Cavalry Corps by combining units that previously had served as smaller formations.) In late 1863, two corps were sent West, and--in 1864--the remaining five corps were recombined into three. Burnside's IX Corps, which accompanied the army at the start of Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign, was added later. 'At the earnest solicitation of my many military friends, I have thrown together some reminiscences of my personal experience as a cavalryman during the late War of the Rebellion. Though my four years of campaigning began with a three months' tour of tramping with the "dough-boys" under General Patterson in the spring and early summer of 1861, the latter was only a prolonged picnic. Two days before I was mustered out of the Ninth Pennsylvania Infantry I enrolled myself in the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, and soon discovered that I was more fitted for riding a horse than for trudging through the slush and mud with a heavy "Harper's Ferry" musket on my shoulder. I will pass over the tedious instructions of the school of the trooper, mounted and dismounted, and begin my reminiscences as a full-fledged Yankee cavalryman.' The First Pennsylvania Cavalry, which originally belonged to the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, began its experience as a fighting regiment in a skirmish and charge near Dranesville, Virginia, on November 26, 1861, and, strange to relate, the first man killed was our assistant surgeon, Dr. Alexander. The regiment's first experience of heavy firing was in the battle of Dranesville, on December 20. This engagement was fought by a brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, commanded by General E. O. C. Ord, my regiment supporting Eastman's battery. The enemy had the same number of regiments and guns that we had, and their commanding officer was General J. E. B. Stuart, but Ord outgeneraled him and gave us the victory, the rebels retreating from the field.

It seems incredible to us today but at the opening of the American Civil War it was not believed that cavalry would be of any use whatever. Edward Tobie was one of the first to enlist and in this highly entertaining account of his time in the First Maine Cavalry, he retraces the evolution of the use of "the cav" during the war. By the end of the war, the efficiency of mobile warfare was more than proven and would go on to be applied in the Indian Wars of the last quarter of the century. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Excerpt from The Second Cavalry Division of the Army of the Potomac in the Gettysburg Campaign First, because the war would be of such short duration, that it would be ended before cavalry could be properly organized, equipped and drilled. Second, that the expense attending its organization and maintenance would not justify its employment. Lastly, that the character of the country in which war would be waged was such that mounted troops could not be successfully employed. The disaster at Bull Run convinced our governing authorities that the war was not to be ended in sixty days. It was determined to raise a great army in which the different branches would be represented in proper proportions. Cavalry regiments of young, ardent patriots, well mounted, well equipped and drilled, were put in the field, and were ready for the performance of the proper duties of that arm. But another hindrance arose, and one that long continued, and that was its misuse, which resulted mainly from the lack of proper corps organization. In the first and second years of the war there would be found here and there temporary brigades, but too often regiments were attached to army corps and broken up to serve at division and brigade headquarters. Instead of conserving its strength, it was wasted on useless details for duty that might well have been omitted, or have been performed by another arm of the service. This policy differed from that pursued by the enemy. Its cavalry, composed of the best class of the young manhood of the South, who were accustomed to the saddle and the use of fire arms, under the leadership of such able soldiers as Stuart, Hampton and Lee, was kept well in hand for large undertakings, and rode about very much at will, inflicting much damage upon our lines of communication and capturing or destroying material and supplies. Notwithstanding the disadvantage mentioned, in the Peninsular campaign and in other fields occupied by the Army of the Potomac in 1862, its cavalry did creditable and in many instances distinguished service. In 1863 it entered upon a career of distinction that placed it abreast with the other arms of service. In February of that year the cavalry corps was organized under the command of Brig.-General George Stoneman. The corps was composed of three divisions, the regular reserve brigade and artillery. The Regular Brigade was commanded by Brig.-General John Buford; the 1st Division by Brig.-General Alfred Pleasanton; the 2d Division by Brig.-General William W. Averell; the 3d Division by Brig.-General David McM. Gregg. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
