Title: A great read, and showed the futility of the actions
Review: The descriptions of the cavalry charges are wonderful and terrify'ing. I would have hated to be on the slashing side of those swords.On the other hand the ablity of the South to repair the damage done by the raiders is remarkable. It made me realize the futility of distroying low grade rail and bridges. These guys would burn a bridge, and 3 days later it would be completely rebuilt. Not really slowing down the pace of the war at all. Sometimes the repairs were done before the raiders were back in camp!It was incredible the amount of useless looting that went on. Soldiers stealing tableware & clothes only to toss it as soon as they were attacked.Another great civil war read. (For those fans of wars in a bygone era.)
