Summary "Some Personal Reminiscences of Service in the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac" by Colonel Hampton S. Thomas is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences as a cavalryman in the Union Army during the American Civil War, specifically focusing on the operations of the Army of the Potomac. The narrative provides personal insights into the challenges and adventures faced by soldiers in a tumultuous period of American history. In this memoir, Thomas shares vivid recollections of battles, cavalry charges, and the complexities of military life. He details significant events such as the engagements at Dranesville, Cedar Mountain, and Gettysburg, highlighting the bravery and tactical maneuvers of the cavalry units amidst the changing tides of war. The author reflects on the camaraderie among soldiers, the hardships endured during campaigns, and the shifting perceptions of cavalry in a predominantly infantry-focused war.
