Description

From the first conflict under General Nathan Bedford Forrest at Murfreesboro in 1862 to the desperate and steadily brutal battles with Union cavalry in the Carolinas all through 1865, the Second Georgia used to be almost repeatedly in action. At the same time as the Second Georgia fought in such famous campaigns as Perryville, Stones River, Chickamauga, Knoxville, Resaca, Atlanta, and Bentonville, they also participated in deadly encounters at Farmington, Mossy Creek, Noonday Creek, Sunshine Church, and Waynesboro. Many of these conflicts are difficult to understand to all but the most ardent Civil War historians. This is the first regimental history of a Georgia Cavalry regiment ever published. The Second Georgia served under both Nathan Bedford Forrest and Joe Wheeler, and campaigned not only on home turf, but literally at the farm acreages of among the unit’s members.

Cracker Cavaliers: The 2nd Georgia Cavalry under Wheeler and Forrest documents the regiment’s participation in major campaigns of the western theater, including the Atlanta Campaign and Sherman’s March to the Sea from an atypical soldier’s point of view at the Civil War.
