Summary "Confederate Wizards of the Saddle" by Bennett H. Young is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed narrative of significant cavalry operations during the American Civil War, particularly focusing on Confederate leaders like Nathan Bedford Forrest, John H. Morgan, and their daring raids and battles. Young, who participated in the conflict, aims to highlight the heroes of the Confederate cavalry and their remarkable endurance, skill, and bravery amidst the challenges they faced. At the start of the work, the author discusses the severe conditions of warfare during the spring and summer of 1864, detailing significant military movements and the valor of Confederate cavalry. Young sets the stage by referencing various battles and leaders, emphasizing the unique role that cavalry played in shaping military strategy during the war. The opening focuses on the Battle of Bryce’s Cross Roads, showcasing Forrest's tactical brilliance against overwhelming odds, particularly his ability to inspire and lead his troops effectively in a critical engagement against Federal forces. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Young establishes the book as both a tribute and a historical recounting of the Confederate cavalry's contributions.
