With a cast of characters including Jeb Stuart, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Robert E. Lee, this informative and well-received volume details the Confederate cavalry's intrepid exploits during the Civil War. Among many action-packed tales are the stories of Forrest's capture of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Stuart's long ride and late arrival at Gettysburg, and Wade Hampton�s daring raid to steal the Union army's herd of beef. William R. Brooksher and David K. Snider uncover the real stories behind these Confederate legends, writing with a flair for the romantic and debonair cavalrymen. Author John Macdonald calls Glory at a Gallop, a selection of the Military Book Club, a 'well-researched, fascinating work.'
