Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Butler and His Cavalry in the War of Secession, 1861-1865
An old man living in Kentucky during the Secession War had two sons; one enlisted in the Confederate Army and the other in the United States Army. Within twelve months one was brought home dead, and within a short time the other was brought home like his brother, having also been killed in battle. Both were buried in his garden s1de by side and this inscription was placed upon the monument: God alone knows which was right.
It is not left with me to decide who was right or who was wrong. I think that some one should write a history of the gal lant deeds of the men who composed the brigade to which he belonged. I have attempted to write the history of Butler and his Cavalry. Though very imperfectly done, I console myself because it was the best I could do.
