"The Cavalry of the Army of the Cumberland " Topic

"During its two year history, the cavalry of the Army of the Cumberland fought the Confederates in some of the most important actions of the Civil War, including Stones River, Chickamauga, the Tullahoma Campaign, the pursuit of Joseph Wheeler in October 1863 and the East Tennessee Campaign. They battled with legendary Confederate cavalry units commanded by Nathan Bedford Forrest, John Hunt Morgan, Wheeler and others. By October 1864, the cavalry grew from eight regiments to four divisions-composed of units from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee-before participating in Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, where the Union cavalry suffered 30 percent casualties. This history of the Army of the Cumberland's cavalry units analyzes their success and failures and reevaluates their alleged poor service during the Atlanta Campaign."

Just use any picture on the cover; they won't know.

Yeah what's up with that cover?! It makes one wonder if the book is 'off' if the picture on the cover is waaaaaay off the mark! Unless…. the regiment teleported to the East to fight with Sheridan for a few days without anyone being the wiser?

The painting portrays Gen. Wesley Merritt leading his (1st) division of cavalry against the Confederate earthworks north of Winchester, Va., on Sept. 19, 1864. His breakthrough started the Confederate rout that concluded the Third Battle of Winchester. The flag is the flag of the Union Cavalry Corps (under Torbert), Army of the Shenandoah. The picture illustrates one of the few incidents of cavalry charging earthworks in the Civil War.

P.S., nowhere near the Army of the Cumberland.

Thanks!
