About this audiobook
This is the story of Lieutenant Robert T. Hubard Jr., a Virginia cavalryman who rode with some of the Confederacy’s most famous commanders: Jeb Stuart, Fitzhugh Lee, Wade Hampton, and Thomas Rosser. From the opening fervor of 1861 to the war’s bitter final days in 1865, Hubard saw the conflict from the front lines of the Army of Northern Virginia, where cavalrymen lived fast, fought hard, and often died young.
He was there for Antietam’s carnage, the long rides through the Shenandoah Valley, the smoke and chaos of Gettysburg, and the desperate final campaigns as the Confederacy collapsed around him. But this is more than a soldier’s record of battles. Wounded at Five Forks, with the war all but lost, Hubard began writing during recovery at his family’s Virginia plantation. What emerged is not a dry military account, but the vivid recollections of a sharp observer: sometimes humorous, sometimes reflective, often brutally honest.
