Historian Edward G. Longacre has corrected this oversight by consulting dozens of collections of letters, diaries, and memoirs by officers and men of all ranks, including little known collections of letters by J.E. B. Stuart. Careful study of North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia newspapers unearthed rare cavalry~specific dispatches. Longacre has left no stone unturned, and is the first historian to make extensive use of the unpublished memoirs of Gen. Wade Hampton, Stuart's second~in~command. Lee's Cavalrymen is a complementary volume to Lincoln's Cavalrymen: A History of the Mounted Forces of the Army of the Potomac. This exhaustively researched work not only details the organizational, administrative, and operational history of the mounted arm of the Army of Northern Virginia, but also examines personal aspects of the men themselves. Longacre chronicles the salient characteristics of the regiments, brigades, and divisions, and explores the evolution of cavalry leadership, with emphasis on the personalities, interpersonal relationships, and operational styles of J.E. B. Stuart, Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee, and other influential commanders. The author also examines the development of mounted tactics, the operational influence of finite resources, and the tactical role and combat effectiveness of the Confederate horse artillery. Well known for interrogating "conventional wisdom," Longacre also contributes some provocative analyses regarding the mounted army's organization, leadership, and tactics. Lee's Cavalrymen is a study that no Civil War enthusiast will want to miss.…

It offers step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand, that you can actually follow."

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2002). 2002 1st edition. 8vo (158 x 235mm). Ppx,211 + 1pp ad. Not illustrated, bibliography. Two-tone yellow and red paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight shelf wear but a fine copy in dust-wrapper. The author suggests a simplified approach to flyfishing for trout. "For an era, many fishers consciously or unconsciously intentionally complicated the sport as much for the fun of that very complication. as for practical result. While today's angler may not be greatly different, still there has been a shift. Catching fish remains essential and the process of learning how to do so remains complicated, but, at the same time, simplicity. is honored increasingly by today's anglers not merely as a life-philosophy but also as a strategy and tactic. .This is the spirit of Taking Trout, a collection of chapters on angling that, not despite, but rather through Hughes' simplifying practical advice, honors the credo that there is more to fishing than fishing." (Publisher's note). Chapters include:- Reading water, finding trout; Searching for trout; The essential part of presentation; Presentation to rising trout; Fruitful hesitations; Bank water; Short-line dry fly; Slack line and the dry fly; Subsurface situations and solutions; Nymphs on the swing; Slicks in riffled water; Early-season streamer tactics; Wet flies and wet-fly fishing; Soft-hackle success; Poking at pockets: the upstream approach; Poking at pockets: the downstream approach; Fishing stairsteps; A half-solved mystery; Stillwater strategy; Trout on the bottom of the shallows; The portability of a home lake; Rod selection for trout fishing; Traveling trout flies; Minimum kit; Old good stuff; Getting it together; Remaining ready; Spike camping for fly fishing; Applied mountain biking; The value of revisitation; The angling pace; Fly selection simplified; Looking at little things; When a fly is not what it seems; Insect identification: what is a useful level? .…
