Two Years in the Saddle and Against the Enemy - Volume One

"Two Years in the Saddle and Against the Enemy – Volume One" is the gripping account of Prussian Captain Heros von Borcke, who volunteered to join the Confederate Army in the American Civil War. In vivid prose, he describes his adventurous journey from Europe to America, his induction into the cavalry under General J.E.B. Stuart, and numerous battles, marches, and personal experiences at the front. The first volume fascinatingly portrays life in the field camp, the dynamics of American warfare, and the cultural impressions of a European at war. The work is a unique historical source, offering both a personal perspective and a wealth of military detail.
"Two Years in the Saddle and Against the Enemy - Volume One" is an unaltered, high-quality reprint of the original 1898 edition.
