The cavalry formed the eyes and ears of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Mounted soldiers, led by General "Jeb" Stuart, searched for the enemy, manned the artillery, and fought in battles never again rivaled in casualties and death. Although centered on Stuart, the story is seasoned with smaller biographies. Narrator Michael Prichard applies his art at transforming endless facts of troop movements and battlefield geography into an educational experience. Prichard does no theatrics with voices or accents but makes it clear when someone other than the author writes or speaks. He modulates his emphasis, tone, and rhythm to sound conversational and relaxed. The Civil War historical experience can be a challenge to understand, but Prichard makes it easy to stay focused and absorb the big picture.
