Mr. Bonell's account of the 21st New York Cavalry is a must

"Sabers in the Shenandoah" is an account of a Union cavalry regiment that saw hard service in the cavalry operations in the Shenandoah Valley. Many accounts of cavalry in the Civil War stress the exploits of cavalry greats such as Sheridan, Custer, Mosby, Stuart, etc. Mr. Bonnell's history of the 21st New York describes the service of a dedicated group of men who suffered great hardship after being formed in Troy, New York but have received little credit for their exploits. This book should be read by any serious student of Union cavalry in the Shenandoah Valley.
