Conclusion:
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While I had done research on Minty, I still learned more about this fascinating character from Wittenberg. I also got a thorough lesson about the effective use of mounted troops against much large combined arms forces.
The book is well-written and quite lively. Those with a deeper interest in the subject should definitely consult the copious footnotes which, as I have already pointed out, are more than just bibliographic. The volume also contains photographs, illustrations, maps, and charts to help the reader understand and visualize the people and events discussed.
I recommend the book to anyone interested in cavalry, the Chickamauga Campaign, the War in the West, and immigrant involvement in the Civil War. I also recommend it to anyone who just wants a good read.
