The final campaign of the American Civil War in the eastern theater witnessed the zenith of American cavalry warfare, the salient aspect of the operation. Both Union and Confederate horsemen had four years of experience prior to this climatic confrontation, and the outcome - not only of the battle but also of the war - hinged on which army had better assimilated the intricate, difficult lessons of mounted service. Although the more numerous, better armed and equipped Federals emerged victorious, the Southern troopers ably guarded the rear of Robert E. Lee's retreat columns and outpointed their opponents on several fields.
The record shows that, despite disparity in numbers, both cavalries were at the top of their form throughout the campaign. They participated in several hard-fought (sometimes desperately fought) battles including Dinwiddie Court House, Five Forks, Paineville, Sailor's Creek, Hight Bridge, Appomattox Station, an the encounter that proved to be the operation's apex outside Appomattox Court house.
In The Cavalry at Appomattox author Edward G. Longacre highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing forces. He brings the final campaign of the Civil War to life by providing day-by-day accounts of Union and Confederate cavalry operations during the last critical week of warfare in Virginia.
