- Summary
- "This book takes a comprehensive look at the use of horses across the Confederate military, including differences between horses in the North and in the South, why particular breeds or colors were chosen for specific tasks, the life expectancy of military horses and common causes of death, and the distinct challenges of caring for horses in wartime conditions. Anecdotes about wartime adventures are included, as well as chapters about specific horses and their lineages if known, the stories behind their names, how they were acquired by their owners, and ways in which they were immortalized. Robert E. Lee's Traveller, Stonewall Jackson's Little Sorrel, Forrest's thirty horses, Ashby's Tom Telegraph, and many more are featured here"--Provided by publisher.
