1.		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: $13.57 Customer Review: This book, authored by Edward Longacre, tells the tale of Union and Confederate cavalry during the Gettysburg campaign--from Brandy Station to Lee's retreat to Virginia. As such, it does a good job of describing this subject. Longacre notes the value of this book (Page 9): ". . .no full length book... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		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: $16.95 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

3.		The Man Behind the Guns: A Military Biography of General Henry J. Hunt, Commander of Artillery, Army of the Potomac from Da Capo Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: When reading this book you can't help but admire Henry Hunt. This is a man who knew what he was best at, artillery, and knew how best to use it. If only his superiors understood what a true asset they had in this man. Henry Hunt was a Hero of the Mexican War and the Civil War. It was a mistake for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Lee's Cavalrymen: A History of the Mounted Forces of the Army of Northern Virginia, 1861-1865 from Stackpole Books Customer Review: I found this book to be very informative and probably essential for anyone interested in understanding the cavalry arm of the ANV.

5.		Lincoln's Cavalrymen: A History of the Mounted Forces of the Army of the Potomac, 1861-1865 from Stackpole Books Price: $23.07 Customer Review: Longacre rightly refutes, with evidence the myth of "it takes three years to make a cavalryman." A statement made against forming volunteer cavalry regiments then, and carried on to this day simply because Brandy Station happened 3 years into the war. While it may have taken 3 years on the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Joshua Chamberlain: The Soldier and the Man from Da Capo Press Price: $15.16 Customer Review: The biggest problem with this biography was the minimal amount of time and pages devoted to Chamberlain during the 50 years he lived after the Civil War, thus rendering Longacre's subtitle "The Soldier and the Man" to be misleading at best. I wanted to know more about how Chamberlain's Civil War... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		Confederate Goliath: The Battle of Fort Fisher from Louisiana State University Press Price: $15.56 Customer Review: This book was a Christmas gift for my husband. Since Christmas he has reread this book at least 3 times. I have to make him put it down so he can go to sleep at night. He loves it. I'm glad I got him something he has enjoyed so much for Christmas.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		General John Buford from Da Capo Press Customer Review: This is a nice, solid military biography. It was very readable, and I was happy to see it had a strong thesis (Buford was "a true dragoon). I came away from the book admiring Buford a great deal. True, there could have been more information in here, but isn't further information one of the purposes... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		A Soldier to the Last: Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler in Blue and Gray from Potomac Books Inc. Price: $15.96 Customer Review: My favorite story about Wheeler is when he was at the Battle of Las Guasimas, the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War he is rumored to have seen the Spaniards running away and to have yelled, 'Come on, we've got the damn Yankees on the run!' Even Mr. Longacre has to admit that... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		General Ulysses S. Grant: The Soldier and the Man from Da Capo Press Price: $19.76 Customer Review: This is a strange book, as it gives the impression that the only reason for it being written and published at all is to act as propaganda for the theory that Grant was an alcoholic. Longacre seems positively obsessed with the "drinking issue," showing scant interest in any other aspect of Grant's... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
