They Rode with Forrest and Wheeler : A Chronicle of Five Tennessee Brothers' Service in the Confederate Western Cavalry

Thomas Burr Fisher was one of five brothers who served, between them, in the Fourth and Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry Regiments, Confederate States Army, with remarkable devotion. Using Fisher's two memoirs (one untitled, written in 1915, and "Life on the Common Level," written in 1921), his correspondence, records, and other material, along with the wartime diary of his brother William Fisher and extensive original research, the history of the Western Cavalry is recounted here.
