"Terry's Texas Rangers: The 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment In The Civil War" Civil War Texas Rangers & Cavalry Book 2 by Leonidas B. Giles is a short history of this Texas cavalry regiment during the Civil War. Giles was a member of Company D of this famous cavalry unit so it is told from his frontline prospective in that company.

Terry's Texas Rangers were one of the most famous Texas cavalry units in the Civil war. From a full strength of 1,200 at the start of the war, they could muster only about 200 in their last charge at the battle of Bentonville, North Carolina in 1865.

In the original, this short book of approximately 20,000 words is very costly since it was printed in small numbers in 1911, mostly for the unit's survivors and their family members.

A great bit of the storied Civil war cavalry history of Texas military by a surviving eyewitness of that tremendous struggle.
