description: The Michigan Cavalry Brigade suffered the heaviest casualties of any Union cavalry unit in the Civil War. Best-known for its flamboyant commander, the Brigade played a central role in some of the Civil War's most crucial battles. Dramatic coverage is given of the Brigade's critical defense of the Union line at Gettysburg on July 3, when J.E.B. Stuart's flank attack could have made Pickett's Charge a success. Custer and the Michigan Cavalry Brigade's key role in surrounding Lee's army at Appomattox is not widely known and is described in full detail in Longacre's compelling narrative.
