SEVENTH MICHIGAN CAVALRY.
| by William o. Lee late Quartermas-
Published by the Ith Mich. Cav. As
| sOciation.
The 9Th Mich. Cav. was one of the
superb regiments which helped to make so
glorious history for the cavalry of the
Army of the Potomac. 1t was organized
Dec. H.. 1862. and formed part of the
famous Michigan Cavalry Brigade. At
Gettysburg it took prominent part in the
savage fighting on the extreme right.
where Stuart's. HamptOn's, and Fitz
Hugh Lees cavalry were driven from the
| field at the point of the Saber. and our
trains and the rear of our army saved.
The author of this book. who mOdestly
styles himself compiler, has devoted
many years of hard work in perfecting
what he styles "A personal. facial history"
because he has embellished it with num-
ber of pictures. showing how the mem-
bers looked while in the service and now.
With these are stories by the men of
particular incidents in which they took
part, of the regiments achievements, etc.
Sketches are also given of the civil careers
of many of these men. Altogether, it
makes very fascinating book.

| The 1st n. Y. Dragons was as fine a
cavalry regiment as ever drew saber, and
its service was long and gallant. The
author of this has devoted many years of
laboriOus search after material to proper

has executed the work in very praise
worthy manner. 1t is what n regimental
history should be, cOnfining itself to the
actual experiences of the regiment, with
only the most necessary illusions to the
general history of the war. 1t has many
pleasing stories. and what might be called
domestic" interest. which throws a vivid
light on the actualities of the great con-
fiict and the character of the men who
fought it through to the triumphant I'm
ish.
