Reflections from the war in a different threatre of the warBy Kenneth Smith; IIWritten in a common man's way with a view of the "War Between the States;" in a little know area where vicious fighting occurred.George Dallas Mosgrove highlights the Battle of Springs north of Knoxville; TN in the detail of a primary source for any student of history or a person wanting to learn the men of that period serving in Upper East Tennessee.He has many more from his service throughout the duration of the war.The non-glorified "Hollywood;" view of the war and life of the common soldier are represented within.A fine sources and read for anyone.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Excellent KY ResourceBy A CustomerI recently finished reading this book and found it to be one of the most interesting unit histories that I have ever read. This book is a history of the 4th Kentucky Cavalry (CSA) and is written by one of its members; George Dallas Mosgrove. It recounts the service of this unit in Eastern Kentucky and Southwest Virginia and under the command of Generals Humphrey Marshall; John Hunt Morgan; "Grumble" Jones; and others. It also provides a roster of members of the 4th and biographies of the Captains. The "classical" writing style of the author is evident throughout the book; yet it always keeps your attention and is easy to read. For those who have an interest in Kentucky units or the war in Southwest Virginia; this book is for you.
