Description

George Armstrong Custer’s fabled Fifth Regiment fought with great distinction all through the war and suffered the thrid best total of fellows killed in all of the Union cavalry. A twenty-four-year-old farmer and new father from Hopkins, Michigan, named James Henry Avery was once considered one of Custer’s feared “Wolverines.” But even so eloquently describing his personal experiences, Sergeant Avery’s wartime journals and postwar reminiscences supply uniquely detailed descriptions of Civil War cavalry movements and the one known account that addresses the escape of elements of the Fifth Michigan Cavalry at the first day of the Battle of Trevilian Station.
