520 _a"A brief history of the Tenth Michigan Cavalry by L. S. Trowbridge" is a regimental history and firsthand historical account written in the early 20th century. The book traces the Union cavalry regiment’s organization, operations, and combat in the American Civil War, focusing on East Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, and North Carolina, with attention to key engagements, leadership, and the unit’s character in the field. The narrative follows the regiment from its formation and harsh winter movements in Kentucky and East Tennessee through relentless outpost duty, fortifying Strawberry Plains, and hard-fought skirmishes at Carter’s Station, Blue Springs, Rogersville, and Greenville—where a surprise strike shattered Confederate positions and John H. Morgan was killed. It details the unit’s steadiness during the Morristown crisis, the defense of Knoxville’s approaches against Breckinridge, and a thorough refit before joining Stoneman’s raid that wrecked railroads, burned bridges, fought at Henry Court House and Abbott’s Creek, and helped clear the path to the capture of Salisbury. The closing chapters cover the news of surrender in Virginia, the shock of Lincoln’s assassination, the wide net cast in the pursuit of Jefferson Davis, a long return for postwar duty in West Tennessee, and final muster out. Portraits of officers, concise statistics, and a theater map frame the story’s central theme: the endurance, discipline, and combat effectiveness of the Tenth Michigan Cavalry.
