Civil War Cavalry

To show what utter nonsense this is of General Taylor's, at the risk of tediousness I give the list of the organizations composing our brigade, by which any one may judge, from whence the men came, whether they were people likely to be found "strapped to their steeds":
Fifth New York Cavalry, commanded by Colonel O. Deforest; 1st Vermont Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Chas. H. Tompkins; 1st Michigan Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Brodhead;
