Chiefly known for his exploits in the Indian Wars, most
significantly for his horrific defeat at the Little Bighorn in
1876, George Armstrong Custer found initial success on the
battlefields of the Civil War, leading his Michigan Cavalry Brigade
in more than sixty battles and skirmishes. The men were
affectionately called "Custer's Wolverines" and among them was
James Kidd, a newspaperman by training. Kidd wrote a series of
letters to friends and family back home between 1862 and 1865,
chronicling the conditions and experiences of life in the field of
battle. Kidd's letters have been combined into this historical
memoir, which tell a moving story of wartime service and shed a
light onto the gallant and often brash Custer. Personal
Recollections of a Cavalryman with Custer's Michigan Cavalry
Brigade in the Civil War has been hailed as one of the richest,
most reliable accounts of Union cavalry operations in the Eastern
theater of the Civil War, ranging from the raid on Richmond to
Appomattox. Kidd provides enriching details about encounters with
JEB Stuart's cavalry, Gettysburg, his admiration for Custer and
other generals he knew, such as Sheridan and Grant. This new
edition of a timeless classic includes a rare photo insert, as well
as an insightful introduction by Paul Andrew Hutton that places
Kidd's work in its historical perspective.
