This work recounts the narrative of the Confederate cavalry unit led by General John Hunt Morgan during the American Civil War. The author aims to provide a detailed and accurate representation of Morgan's military operations, offering insights into the leadership and courage of the men who served under him. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the author's motivation and perspective as a close associate of General Morgan. Duke expresses his intent to celebrate Morgan's legacy and clarify any misconceptions surrounding his actions during the war. He acknowledges the influence of both personal loyalty and public perception on the narratives surrounding Morgan's exploits, emphasizing the challenges faced in capturing the full complexity of his campaigns.
