Description: Riding with Rosser is General Thomas L. Rosser's personal account of the war, in which he was wounded nine times! Here is the American Civil War as viewed by one of the Confederacy's most competent and brilliant officers. Rosser describes his journey from the plains of Manassas, into the Wilderness, to Sangster's Station, up and down the Shenandoah Valley battling both General Philip Sheridan and his friend from West Point, Brigadier General George Custer.

His struggles at Spotsylvania Court House and Trevilian Station, along with his capture of 2,500 head of Federal cattle, and his surprising victory at New Creek are here in his own words. Rosser ends his story with siege, retreat, and the final days of the War between the States.
