4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. what a wonderful surprise!By Bugler Billythis book that is...I happened across this excellent history while doing some online research regarding my great great grandfather. I found his Reg. and much to my surprise learned that there was a book written about them (2nd Ga. cavalry) as well! This well researched and fast paced narrative takes the reader on an amazing ride through the entire history of the 2nd Ga Cav. From their formation to their surrender. A must have for those interested in smaller unit history and Cavalry actions in particular. I never knew my great great grandfather but through this book I was able to get a glimpse into his world and gain a better understanding of just how brave and resiliant these ordinary men from all walks of life had to be. By the way my Great grandpa was William C. Cleaton; co D; 2nd Ga cav Regiment; and he lived well into his 90's; fathered 6 children; celebrated his 65th wedding anniversary; and in his early 70's cut a third set of teeth....and is said to have enjoyed them greatly.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It was a nice find!By J. BrownThis was my Gret-great grandfathers's unit. He shows on the roster in the book and it confirms family lore of his service. It was a nice find!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Regimental HistoryBy Michael R. BradleyThis book is a well researched; thorough history of a single regiment. The account of the war-time experiences of this unit allows one to get a sense of what life was like in a hard-fighting cavalry unit which saw action across much of the western theatre during the Civil War.
