I just happened upon a new book while searching Amazon. I wanted to know more details about the book.

The Mississippi 18th Cavalry Regiment [also called the 18th Battalion] was organized during the late fall of 1862 with eight companies. Many of the men were recruited in Smith, Coahoma, and Sunflower counties. The unit served in Chalmers', R. McCulloch's, Slemon's Brigade, then returned to McCulloch's, and finally Starke's Brigade. It skirmished in various conflicts in Tennessee and Mississippi. The battalion contained 225 effectives in October, 1863 and reported 6 casualties at Collierville and 51 in the expedition from Memphis into Mississippi. It ended the war in Mississippi with only a few officers and men.
Has anyone bought this book?
Is this just a book with roster of men or does it have any real history of their role in some battles??
