The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Confederate Cavalry West of the River by Stephen B. Oates

The development and activities of a hitherto unpublicized segment of the Confederate cavalry.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Another Confederate cavalry raid impends. You hear the snort of an impatient horse, the leathery squeaking of saddles, the low-voiced commands of officers, the muffled cluck of guns cocked in preparation—then the sudden rush of motion, the din of another attack.This classic story seeks to illuminate a little-known theater of the Civil War—the cavalry battles of the Trans-Mississippi West, a region that included Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, the Indian Territory, and part of Louisiana. Stephen B. Oates traces the successes and defeats of the cavalry; its brief reinvigoration under John S. "Rip" Ford, who fought and won the last battle of the war at Palmetto Ranch; and finally, the disintegration of this once-proud fighting force.
