Overview
Overview
Horses and mules served during the Civil War in greater number and suffered more casualties than the men of the Union and Confederate armies combined. Using firsthand accounts, this history addresses the many uses of equines during the war, the methods by which they were obtained, their costs, their suffering on the battlefields and roads, their consumption by soldiers, and such topics as racing and mounted music. The book is supplemented by accounts of the Lightning Mule Brigade, the Charge of the Mule Brigade, five appendices and 37 illustrations. More than 700 Civil War equines are identified and described with incidental information and identification of their masters.
