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.

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.

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.

Excerpt from History of the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac, Including That of the Army of Virginia (Pope's), And Also the History of the Operations of the Federal Cavalry in West Virginia During the War The preparation of the following pages, especially that portion dealing with the events of the first two years of the war, has not been easy. To evolve a general history from those of individuals, and yet not deal with any one regiment to the prejudice of others; to separate the operations of the cavalry from those of the other arms, and yet preserve that degree of relationship which a part bears to the whole; to touch upon the details of the battle and the march, and yet not transgress the prescribed limits of this little history-all these have been difficulties which have severally and collectively taxed the writer's resources to the utmost. The almost total absence of works of reference, except histories of individual regiments and the official records of the War of the Rebellion, has in itself involved a vast deal of labor. It is, perhaps, not too much to say that a history of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac might very easily have filled three times as many pages as have here been devoted to it; and the writer has, much against his will, been compelled to cut out matter of the greatest interest.

Excerpt from The Right Flank at Gettysburg: An Account of the Operations of General Gregg's Cavalry Command, Showing Their Important Bearing Upon the Results of the Battle Even among cavalry officers a want of appreciation has been shown. General Pleasanton, who, though nominally commanding the Cavalry Corps at the time, was not with any of his divisions, but, according to his own account, near Gen eral Meade in the rear of the infantry line of battle, instruct ing his distinguished chief how in half an hour to show him self a great general, has recently written an article giving an outline of the valuable services of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac preceding the battle. He omits entirely to men tion the important part it took in the battle itself. Though concluding in a general way with a glowing tribute to its ser vices, it is difficult to ascertain from what he writes whether any portion of the corps of which he was the commander was actually engaged.
