"The Fourth Massachusetts Cavalry in the Closing Scenes of the War for the Maintenance of the Union" by Wm. B. Arnold is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences and contributions of the Fourth Massachusetts Cavalry during the final days of the American Civil War, particularly emphasizing their actions from Richmond to Appomattox. It provides an in-depth look at the bravery and pivotal engagements of this cavalry regiment, capturing the essence of their efforts to maintain the Union. In this detailed narrative, Arnold chronicles key events involving the Fourth Massachusetts Cavalry, particularly their fierce engagement at the Battle of High Bridge, where a small force under Colonel Francis Washburn charged against a much larger Confederate contingent. Despite overwhelming odds, the regiment displayed remarkable valor, resulting in a significant skirmish that contributed to the Confederates' eventual surrender at Appomattox. The book illustrates the gallantry of the soldiers, the chaos and destruction in Richmond during its evacuation, and the emotions surrounding the end of the war, including the somber transition from battle to peace with President Lincoln's arrival in the city. Through firsthand accounts and reflections, Arnold pays tribute to the sacrifices of these soldiers amidst the closing scenes of the Civil War.
