Another Confederate cavalry raid impends. You hear the snort of
an impatient horse, the leathery squeaking of saddles, the
low-voiced commands of officers, the muffled cluck of guns cocked
in preparation--then the sudden rush of motion, the din of another
attack.
This classic story seeks to illuminate a little-known theater of
the Civil War--the cavalry battles of the Trans-Mississippi West, a
region that included Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, the Indian
Territory, and part of Louisiana. Stephen B. Oates traces the
successes and defeats of the cavalry; its brief reinvigoration
under John S. "Rip" Ford, who fought and won the last battle of the
war at Palmetto Ranch; and finally, the disintegration of this
once-proud fighting force.
