2.		General John Buford: A Military Biography from Da Capo Press Price: $11.52 Customer Review: A very decent effort on Buford, but even the author admits he was reluctant to write a bio on this important, but obscure Civil War figure as there wasn't much original resource material to rely on. He decided to go through with the project after the movie Gettysburg came out in which Buford played... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		A Soldier to the Last: Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler in Blue and Gray from Potomac Books Inc. Price: $12.21 Customer Review: The only criticism I have to make is that Longacre gives us no overall-assessment of Wheeler as a cavalry commander. Further, he gives short shrift to Wheeler's post-war career. Otherwise, recommended!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Joshua Chamberlain: The Soldier and the Man from Da Capo Press Price: $10.25 Customer Review: On the back cover of this book, a review states: "Chamberlain's fans may not like everything Longacre says, but they will find this a significant contribution to the scholarship on the Maine General." I'll admit to being an unabashed Chamberlain (JLC) "fan," but the main problem I have with this... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The Cavalry at Gettysburg: A Tactical Study of Mounted Operations during the Civil War's Pivotal Campaign, 9 June-14 July 1863 from Bison Books Price: $8.49 Customer Review: For those interested in Gettysburg, most of the literature focuses on the horrific events that occurred on July 1-3, 1863 at or near Gettysburg Township. This work by Edward Longacre transcends those events and by doing so provides materially more information that is necessary to understand this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Fitz Lee: A Military Biography of Major General Fitzhugh Lee, C.S.A. from Bison Books Price: $14.93 Customer Review: Longacre provides the basic facts of the life of Fitzhugh Lee, who clearly benefitted from his name and relationship to his uncle Robert. His West Point career was nearly as unimpressive as those of George Pickett and George Custer. His Civil War performance, while sometimes solid, culminated in... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Gentleman and Soldier: A Biography of Wade Hampton III Price: $15.42 Customer Review: As a Southerner and a South Carolinian by birth and heritage, I found this to be a very well-written and highly informative treatment of the life of one of the state's preiminent historical figures. From all evidence, Wade Hampton III was indeed a consumate gentleman and an effective... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Iowa Trivia, Revised Edition from Rutledge Hill Press Price: $13.84 Customer Review: Although there are a few nifty little tidbits here and there, much of this "trivia" is either obvious such as: what are the two biggest crops? (hint-not plum tomatoes and arugula),is already pretty well known, or is as dry and uninteresting as a winter cornfield. It would take a truly hardcore Iowa... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		From Everglade to Canyon With the Second United States Cavalry: An Authentic Account of Service in Florida, Mexico, Virginia, and the Indian Country, 1836-1875 from University of Oklahoma Press Price: $12.83 Customer Review: This unit still serves. It is now stationed once again in Germany, at Vilseck. My son-in-law is in it, as I was, in Germany. This unit has fought in every major conflict, except Vietnam, that the US has been in. The only other book on the 2nd that comes even close includes the after-Civil war years... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Confederate Goliath: The Battle of Fort Fisher from Louisiana State University Press Price: $12.79 Customer Review: Rod Gragg is one of my favorite civil war writers and this book is as good as Covered With Glory about the 26th North Carolina.If you have ever been curious about Fort Fisher near Wilmington North Carolina you must read this book, it's terrific.
