This magnificent volume is an astonishingly detailed description of life within the dashing Confederate horse artillery. Based on letter, journals and memoirs this telling narrative of Civil War life on campaign gives a wonderful insight into the thoughts and actions of individual soldiers. With almost day-by-day descriptions of events Galloping Thunder allows the reader to appreciate 'the humanity of the men' and to follow their trials and tribulations under their famous commander. Far from being a dry unit history, this detailed book follows individual men through marches, camps, battles, hunger, dust and exhaustion. With more than 900 pages of detailed text, and exhaustive treatment of particular events, this is the most comprehensive book on the Confederate horse artillery ever written.
