2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Exciting and fresh By Bomojaz Thrilling indeed! In this memoir, General Forsyth elected to relate four major events of his long military career, two from his Civil War Days and two from his service in the Indian wars in the West. Most famous, of course, is the account of his (along with 50 cavalry troops) holding off a thousand attacking Plains Indians, led by Roman Nose, for nine days in the summer of 1868 on an island in the Arickaree Fork of the Republican River in eastern Colorado that became known as the Battle of Beecher Island. Forsyth, wounded in three places, was brevetted brigadier-general for his actions there. Also included from his frontier days is his telling of the Apache raid he led against Geronimo in New Mexico in 1882 that took his troops deep into Mexico. The two Civil War records include his riding with Sheridan from Winchester to the Battle of Cedar Creek in October 1864, and his reminiscence of the closing scene at Appomattox Court House and Lee's surrender to Grant.Forsyth's main interest is in giving the details in as exciting a manner as dignity will allow. Dialogue is included and much of it sounds invented (the death scene of Lt. Beecher might have been exactly as Forsyth describes it, but it sounds straight out of a romance novel of the day: "I have my death-wound general. I am shot in the side and dying."). Historians and realists might cringe at this kind of thing, but it has its appeal, too, for those wanting a strong human (and heroic) element to the writing. What it attempts to do, it does well. An enjoyable first-hand account of one man's take on a few highlights in his military career.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. And they were thrilling By Thomas Marsh At the end of the Civil War George Forsyth found he liked the Army and stayed until medically retired in 1890. In that time he was in 18 battles, 40 skirmishes; he was wounded 6 times and received 5 brevet commissions for bravery. He commanded at Beecher's Island, was with Sheridan on the ride to Winchester and sat on the porch of Appomattox Court House. In true John Ford/John Wayne fashion, he led 6 troops of the 4th Cavalry "to the rescue".And this is the short version.
