Abstract:
During the advance of General William T. Sherman's army through North and South Carolina in the spring of 1865, it was opposed by a Confederate cavalry force of some 6,000 cavalrymen. The cavalry performed well in the field considering their need for more personnel, horses, and supplies. Brown recounts the movements of the cavalry, the discord between the two commanders--Generals Hampton and Wheeler, the fighting, and the success of their operations.
