| Publisher Description: While much has been written about the Cavalry exploits of Forrest, Morgan, Stuart, Hampton, Butler and other Confederate Cavalry leaders, the men who served under General Joseph Wheeler have equally compelling stories which have lain largely undiscovered and unread. Indeed both Morgan and Forrest served under Wheeler for a time, but the accounts most closely associated with Gen. Wheeler center around the Atlanta and Carolinas Campaigns towards the end of the war. Many troops from other States added to the strength of his legions, but the majority of his men were Alabamians led by General William Wirt Allen, James Hagan, Moses Wright Hannon, John Herbert Kelly, and other brave officers of Alabama. This book tells their story in their own words. |
