"For cavalry and/or Gettysburg enthusiasts, this book is a must;
for other Civil War buffs, it possesses the qualities sought by
students of the conflict...[It] bristles with analysis, details,
judgements, personality profiles, and evaluations and combat
descriptions, even down to the squadron and company levels. The
mounted operations of the campaign from organizational, strategic,
and tactical viewpoints are examined thoroughly. The author's
graphic recountings of the Virginia fights at Brandy Station,
Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, the Pennsylvania encounters at
Hanover, Hunterstown, Gettysburg, and Fairfield, and finally the
retreat to Virginia, are the finest this reviewer has read under a
single cover. For those who enjoy the thunder of hoofbeats, the
clang of sabers, and the crack of pistols and carbines, this book
has all of it. Generals and privates share the pages, as the
mounted opponents parry and thrust across hundreds of miles of
territory from June 9 to July 14, 1863." (Civil War Times
Illustrated). "Edward Longacre's study is a much-needed, long
overdue piece of the complex mosaic which makes up the Gettysburg
story. No Civil War Library should be without it. The volume adds
an important perspective to one's understanding of this critical
military operation." (Military Images). Edward G. Longacre's books
on the Civil War have won both the Fletcher Pratt Award of the
Civil War Round Table of New York and the Moncado prize of the
American Military Institute. They include To Gettysburg and Beyond:
The Twelfth New Jersey Volunteer Infantry, II Corps, and Army of
the Potomac, 1862-1865 (1988).
