Told in his own words, this is the story of Sgt. Thomas W. Smiths service in the Civil War-the greatest adventure of his life. It is also the story of his regiment, the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry, known as Rushs Lancers, named both for the distinctive wooden lances they carried for the first two years of the war and for their first commanding officer, Col. Richard H. Rush. These letters provide rare insight into the workings and daily life of a noncommissioned officer. They are filled with humor and humanity and demonstrate the hardships withstood by the common soldier of the Civil War. The added narrative and annotations assist the reader in identifying the persons and events described and in placing them in the proper historical perspective and context.
