For those interested in the cavalry actions during the retreat from Gettysburg, this book is finally available. Amazon.com shipped mine 6 June, so it should be here directly. I'm really looking forward to reading this one. Book report will be posted when I'm finished. If it's as good as "Plenty Of Blame To Go Around", it'll be darned fine. Mssr's Wittenberg and Petruzzi know the cavalry and how to write about it.

The books delivers on it's coverage of the cavalry operations during the retreat. Definately well researched with plenty of exceprts from both the O.R's and soldiers diaries.

The main gripe I have is the editing by the publisher. I've never seen more errors in a book than this one. Words pluralized when they shouldn't be...and vice versa, missing and extra words in sentences. Seems like there's a gaff about every 15-20 pages. They tend to detract from a pretty good volume.

Eric Wittenberg is an old friend and he really does know cavalry.
