  2. I am intrigued by the fact that somebody could turn out 594 pages on cavalry operations in the Antietam Campaign - especially from the Union side. Maybe Lincoln's post-battle comment to Little Mac about his horses was unduly harsh (Antietam pun intended).

    1. It must go pretty micro. I'll find out soon as I have a copy on the way.
