Dan,
No problem. I perfectly understand what you mean. The 1st Cav that you served with, by the way, is the linear descendant of Buford's old First Cavalry Division. You have a good pedigree going there. Feel free to ask away. That's what we're here for. By the way, my first book deals with Farnsworth's Charge, if that's of interest to you. Regards, Eric Dan, Well, that's exactly what happened to the Confederate infantry occupying the Slyder Farm lane on July 3, 1863, as Farnsworth's Charge bore down on them. There are many stories of the Rebs swinging clubbed muskets and even accounts of them knocking Vermonters from their horses with rocks. Ugly stuff. Eric
