The Civil War in the west has gotten far less attention than the eastern theater. Yet some of the most decisive battles were fought there by some of the most famous soldiers and regiments of the war.
The Second Michigan Cavalry was one of them, fighting under Phil Sheridan, Gordon Granger, and others. The author of this work was an aide to General Sheridan.
At Shiloh, Corinth, Nashville, Franklin and other fights, Marshall Thatcher was there and as regimental historian, he gives you both a broad and personal view of his highly-praised Michigan comrades-in-arms.
Don't miss this important and exciting view of a theater of war that many don't study.
