1867 CONFEDERATE 1st/1st General John Hunt Morgans Cavalry CIVIL WAR Basil Duke
“History of Morgans Cavalry” by Basil Wilson Duke offers an in-depth chronicle of the military exploits of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan and his cavalry during the American Civil War. Penned by Basil W. Duke, a former Confederate general officer, lawyer, and later a historian, this account is a reflection of his personal experiences as Morgans second-in-command and his eventual takeover of Morgans command following Morgans death. Morgan, famous for the daring “Morgans Raid” and other notable wartime actions, is vividly portrayed against the tumultuous backdrop of the Civil War. The book provides a fascinating, comprehensive insight in a Confederates perspective of the war. This work underscores Basil W. Dukes own lasting impact as a historian, highlighting his efforts in preserving Civil War memories and his notable contributions to post-war Southern literature. It is a riveting account for Civil War enthusiasts as well as anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of one of Americas most pivotal periods.
