Description

George Armstrong Custer’s fabled Fifth Regiment fought with great distinction all through the American Civil War and suffered the third best total of fellows within the Union cavalry who were either killed in action or died in their wounds. James Henry Avery, a twenty-four-year-old farmer and new father from Hopkins, Michigan, was once one in all Custer’s feared “Wolverines”. But even so eloquently recording his personal experiences, Sergeant Avery’s wartime journals and postwar reminiscences provide 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, Virginia.
