The Civil War Memoirs of a Virginia Cavalryman

“[Civil War Memoirs] is richly illustrated with maps tracing the 3rd Virginia Calvary's movement from their time on the Virginia Peninsula to the time of Hubard's wounding at Five Forks on April 1, 1865, and should appeal to a wide array of historians interested in the war's Eastern Theater, the life of Confederate calvrymen, and soldiers' perceptions of their superiors, comrades-in-arms, and enemies.”
—Civil War News

“Unlike many such memoirs, Hubard’s assessments are critical as well as complimentary of the events and individuals he observed. Thomas P. Nanzig provides editorial clarity and includes some of the soldier’s correspondence. The result is a substantial contribution to Confederate cavalry operations in Virginia.”
—Society of Civil War Historians

“This volume is a worthy addition to the already copious amount of primary source material on the eastern theater.”
—The Journal of Southern History

“Overall, The Civil War Memoirs of a Virginia Cavalryman is an important addition to the ever-expanding list of the conflict's first-hand accounts. In publishing this work, Nanzig has discovered a valuable manuscript in rough form and has delivered to the public, in turn, a polished gem.”
—H-Net Reviews
 

“[ . . .] this work makes a nice contribution to the existing literature on Stuart's cavalry, and anyone with an interest in the Civil War's eastern theater, the military history of the Civil War, or Virginia history in general would do well to take notice of it.”
—The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography

“Hubard’s memoir offers insightful remarks about religion and tensions in the ranks, Southern honor, the problems of conscription, and Confederate depredations against its own civilians. However, the document’s strength is the military narrative, particularly the 1864 cavalry operations in central Virginia. There are few other memoir/letter collections from one of Jeb Stuart’s troopers.”
