An Excellent First-Hand Civil War Account,
This review is from: Recollections of the 4th Missouri Cavalry (Hardcover)
Hoping to find a legitimate, detailed personal account of life in the Union Army, this book easily met my expectations - and more! This book will appeal to anyone interested in Civil War history in general and the 4th Missouri Cavalry in particular. However, it is not written in a dry historical style but in a vibrant, true to life form that includes both anectdote and reflection. In a very real sense you are transported back in time to experience life as a Union Cavalryman, although the book focuses less on the details of camp life and much more on the battles and how battle decisions were made. I have found quotes from this book in many other books and articles about this period, so Capt. Burns' experiences and recollections are considered both credible and quoteworthy. Riding along with the Calvary through Pea Ridge and other significant battles of the Civil War, you will find this account captivating and informative if you have any interest at all in true life historical accounts or in Civil War research of any type.
