Opie A Rebel Cavalryman with Lee
Morningside Bookshop 1997 0890290121 / 9780890290125 First Edition; First Impression Hardcover Very Good with no dust jacket
1972 Morningside Bookshop reprint. Red cloth cover. Looks new. Opies delightful memoirs of army life compare in style to those of John Casler in the sense of being a light and enjoyable narrative. However, Opie had a more accurate eye for facts and unusual powers of recall, thereby creating an unusually good blend of humor and heroism. As a soldier, Opie took part in the major Virginia campaigns as well as raiding in West Virginia. He was at Sharpsburg and Gettysburg, and followed Early to the outskirts of Washington. He was later captured in the Shenandoah Valley and imprisoned at Elmira, New York, until the end of the war. Numerous illustrations are included, and Opies sometimes opinionated accounts of crucial events combine with these to create a valuable story of one mans adventures and experiences in the Civil War. ; cloth; 336 pages
