Forgotten Valor The First Missouri Cavalry Regiment C.S.A. James W. Farley

Description: Forgotten Valor The First Missouri Cavalry Regiment C.S.A. by James W. Farley, cover has some damage, but is secure no loose pages, some curling to cover and a few pages otherwise clean and solid. Signed by author as picture shows. One of the most distinguished units in the Missouri Brigade was the First Missouri Regiment led by Colonel Elijah Gates. This book, "Forgotten Valor" was written by James W. Farley, whose great-grandfather served under The "Iron Soldier," Gates during four hard years of war in Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Farley's research encompassed material from the National Archives, State of Missouri Archives, the Official Records; War of the Rebellion, letters, diaries and memoirs found in the State Historical Library of Missouri and the Missouri Historical Society Library, newspaper files, and pension records, until he compiled all presently available data on each man who served in the regiment. In addition to this very valuable data now available in one consolidated book, Farley's readable narrative describes the grim determination and perseverance of these Missourians who fought and died for their beliefs, their families, their land, their kin-folks and their beloved Missouri.. and for a cause they felt worthy of all their sacrifices. When the reader reads the narrative and studies the individual records contained within the appendix, the valor of these men will have taken one small step toward recognition and becoming a part of our American heritage which should never be forgotten.--- Phil Gottschalk 1996
