David A. Powell, Failure in the Saddle, 1st Ed., Signed

Description

Chickamauga historian David Powell wrote Failure in the Saddle in addition to his authoritative 3-volume history of the Chickamauga Campaign.

The legendary Confederate cavalry arm often rode circles around their opponents, but Powell tackles one of their most significant defeats as celebrated rebel horsemen repeatedly disappointed Braxton Bragg. Richly detailed and elegantly written, it offers new perspectives on the role of rebel cavalry in every combat large and small waged during the long and bloody campaign and, by default, a fresh assessment of the generalship of Bragg. Includes a guided tour of the cavalry operations, several appendices, of important information, and original cartography.

Near fine; dust jacket. Signed directly by the author.
