After the ferocious fighting at Cold Harbor, Virginia, in June
1864, Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant ordered his cavalry,
commanded by Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, to distract the
Confederate forces opposing the Army of the Potomac. Glory Enough
for All chronicles the battle that resulted when Confederate
cavalry pursued and caught their Federal foes at Trevilian Station,
Virginia, perhaps the only truly decisive cavalry battle of the
American Civil War. Eric J. Wittenberg tells the stories of the men
who fought there, including eight Medal of Honor winners and one
Confederate whose death at Trevilian Station made him the third of
three brothers to die in the service of Company A of the Fourth
Virginia Cavalry. He also addresses the little-known but critical
cavalry battle at Samaria (Saint Mary's) Church on June 24, 1864,
where Union Brig. Gen. David N. Gregg's division was nearly
destroyed. The only modern strategic analysis of the battle, Glory
Enough for All challenges prevailing interpretations of General
Sheridan and of the Union cavalry. Wittenberg shows that the
outcome of Trevilian Station ultimately prolonged Grant's efforts
to end the Civil War. Eric J.Wittenberg is the author of
Gettysburg's Forgotten Cavalry Actions and the coauthor of Plenty
of Blame to Go Around, among numerous books. Gordon C. Rhea is the
author of several books on the Civil War, including To the North
Anna River: Grant and Lee, May 13-25, 1864 and The Battle of the
Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864.
