A must-read and highly recommended. --Arnold D. Blumberg, Army History Solidly researched and well crafted. --Doug Crenshaw, Emerging Civil War-- (6/8/2021 12:00:00 AM) Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg, one of the pillars of the Union Army's cavalry force, has long remained a cypher, an unknown, to historians. Modest and reticent, Gregg shunned flashy uniforms and disdained the notoriety craved by others. . . . Ed Longacre has deftly removed Gregg's self-imposed shroud and presents the reader with a poignant, long-needed biography of a most deserving soldier. --Robert F. O'Neill, author of Chasing Jeb Stuart and John Mosby Historian Edward Longacre's biography of Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg--the ultimate Civil War cavalry commander--is well crafted, comprehensive, and definitive. It will stand the test of time. --Rod Gragg, author of Confederate Goliath: The Battle of Fort Fisher
