Personal Recollections of a Cavalryman is a memoir written by James Harvey Kidd, a Civil War veteran who served in the Michigan Cavalry Brigade under General George Armstrong Custer. Published in 1908, the book recounts Kidd's experiences during the war, including his enlistment, training, and participation in battles such as Gettysburg and the Appomattox Campaign. Kidd's recollections provide a unique perspective on the Civil War, particularly the role of cavalry units in the conflict. He describes the challenges of riding horses into battle, the importance of reconnaissance missions, and the strategies used by Custer to outmaneuver Confederate forces. The book also sheds light on the personal experiences of soldiers during the war, including the hardships of camp life, the camaraderie among troops, and the emotional toll of losing friends in battle. Overall, Personal Recollections of a Cavalryman is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the experiences of Civil War soldiers, particularly those who served in cavalry units.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
