Summary

Cavalry of the Heartland is a groundbreaking study of the mounted forces that supported the Army of Tennessee, the largest Confederate army in the western theatre of operations, during the American Civil War. Drawing on a wide variety of research materials, including the unpublished writings of more than 300 officers and enlisted men, this volume offers an unrivalled account of the entire history of the unit ¿ including its strategies and tactics ¿ from its inception in the spring of 1861 to its final battle at Bentonville, North Carolina four years later. Filled with fascinating historical facts and colourful characters, this substantial new volume will appeal to all those interested in the detail of the American Civil War and its most prestigious fighting units.
