EISNER 1086: "Rowell's narrative nicely captures the flavor of life in a cavalry regiment. The portions treating the war against Morgan in Kentucky, the battle of Thompson's Station, and Bentonville are particularly intriguing. They offer a decidedly different view of some familiar actions, and the author's careful documentation and wide range of viewpoint - from commanders to common soldiers- make the book particularly engaging."
