Hampton and His Cavalry in '64

Plot

"Hampton and his Cavalry in '64 has stood as a classic of Confederate military history for nearly nine decades. Its focus on the Southern mounted arm in Virginia and the Carolinas during the last year of the Civil War reserves for it a nearly unique position among the primary accounts of the postwar period. Well's narrative traces the fate of his commander as well as that of his comrades. Wade Hampton emerges from these pages as a figure of heroic proportions. Incidents, anecdotes, and insights concerning the famous Carolinian appear here in delightful profusion" -- Provided by publisher.
