About this Item

1867 Confederate 1ed John Morgan s Raid CIVIL WAR Basil Duke Gettysburg Vicksburg John Hunt Morgan was a Confederate general in the American Civil War known mostly by his now famous Raid, an operation now known as Morgan s Raid . Morgan sought to slow the Union growth in both Vicksburg and Gettysburg (both of which would become war-changing battles) by moving Confederate troops throughout the North hoping to draw Union armies toward the raiders and away from strongholds. Morgan was shot and killed during his raid; however, one of Morgan s officers, Basil Duke, wrote a memoir on the life of General Morgan following the War a work which provides incredible first-hand details on the raid and its influence on the Civil War. According to Coleman, This work is the standard account of General John H. Morgan and his Confederate Cavalry. The author, Basil Duke, assumed command of Morgan's Cavalry after the death of General Morgan in 1864. Krick supports this by saying that the work is made lively by Duke s first hand observations Item number: #20987 Price: $750 DUKE, Basil Wilson History of Morgan's cavalry Cincinnati: Miami Print. and Pub.
