  Establishes that Basil Wilson Duke (1838-1916) was in fact the brilliant tactician behind much of the success of John Hunt Morgan's legendary cavalry unit. Author Gary Robert Matthews not only offers an in-depth study of Duke's celebrated Civil War exploits but also traces his varied postwar literary, legal, and political careers.
