Media Reviews

Chronicling the hardship and glory of wartime service with George Custer's famed Michigan Brigade, Avery's memoir is an insightful record of one Federal trooper's experience on campaign and battlefield. His narrative is an important contribution to our understanding of the Union cavalry's emergence as a potent agent of victory. --Brian C. Pohanka
