This boldly dramatized Civil War novel, based on the real life experiences of Union cavalry officer Joseph Hedges, pits him against the Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, the scourge of every Union officer - from Sherman on down. In single chance meetings or on the battlefield, Joseph's army life is prescribed by Forrest, who has a vendetta against Joseph's regiment for the alleged noncombat slaying of one of his officers. On the home front, Joseph's life is further complicated by his involvement with two women: Jeanette Purdy, the spirited redhead, and Annabelle Webster, the desirable seductress. Based on the letters Hedges wrote home, as well as research into the politics, weaponry, and military tactics of the war, The Cavalryman is not only a superb novel of the period but provides rare insight into the hearts and minds of those who lived through it.
