5 Stars The Partisan Rangers of the Confederate States Army: Memoirs
At first I thought this book was merely a grandiose tale but as I began to research General Johnson I could not disprove any of the text. Further I found that General Johnson was even bolder, braver, and a much better leader than he claims. A wonderful book for anyone who follows the Civil War in Kentucky, Tennesse, Indiana, and Ohio.
4 Stars Good Book
The title of this book is somewhat deceptive, in that this is not a history of the entire Confederate Partisan Ranger Corps. Rather, this is a good book that recounts the organization of Johnson’s 10th Kentucky Cavalry, the little known actions that took place in Western Kentucky during 1862, and the service of the unit under General John Hunt Morgan. One of the good points of the book is that Johnson included not only his own memoirs, but war accounts written by several other members of the command. Another good point is the inclusion of a roster of the men who served under Johnson’s command. A very good book for those interested in Confederate Cavalry and Partisan Ranger units.
5 Stars this book is a great recording of history
this book has immense historical value. it has prisoner accounts of camp treatment. it has step by step accounts of escape attempts. and best yet, my ggggrandfather is in it.
