About this product
Product Information
Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg (1833-1917) was one of the ablest and most successful commanders of cavalry in any Civil War army. Pennsylvania-born, West Point-educated, and deeply experienced in cavalry operations prior to the conflict, his career personified that of the typical cavalry officer in the mid-nineteenth-century American army. Gregg achieved distinction on many battlefields, including those during the Peninsula, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristoe, Overland, and Petersburg campaigns, ultimately gaining the rank of brevet major general as leader of the Second Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac. The highlight of his service occurred on July 3, 1863, the climactic third day at Gettysburg, when he led his own command as well as the brigade of Brig. Gen. George Armstrong Custer in repulsing an attempt by thousands of Confederate cavalry under the legendary J. E. B. Stuart in attacking the right flank and rear of the Union Army while Pickett's charge struck its front and center. Historians credit Gregg with helping preserve the security of his army at a critical point, making Union victory inevitable. Unlike glory-hunters such as Custer and Stuart, Gregg was a quietly competent veteran who never promoted himself or sought personal recognition for his service. Rarely has a military commander of such distinction been denied a biographer's tribute. Gregg's time is long overdue.

Reviews
" Unsung Hero of Gettysburg stands as the ground-breaking treatment on David Gregg that offers students a moving, readable, and definitive biography."--David Marshall, Strategy Page, "Longacre's superb book addresses a significant gap in our understanding of the United States' victory in the American Civil War."--Barbara A. Gannon, Pennsylvania Heritage, "Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg, one of the pillars of the Union Army's cavalry force, has long remained a cypher, an unknown, to historians. Modest and reticent, Gregg shunned flashy uniforms and disdained the notoriety craved by others. . . . Ed Longacre has deftly removed Gregg's self-imposed shroud and presents the reader with a poignant, long-needed biography of a most deserving soldier."--Robert F. O'Neill, author of Chasing Jeb Stuart and John Mosby, "Historian Edward Longacre's biography of General David McMurtrie Gregg--the ultimate Civil War cavalry commander--is well crafted, comprehensive, and definitive. It will stand the test of time."--Rod Gragg, author of Confederate Goliath: The Battle of Fort Fisher, "General David McMurtrie Gregg, one of the pillars of the Union army's cavalry force, has long remained a cypher, an unknown, to historians. Modest and reticent, Gregg shunned flashy uniforms and disdained the notoriety craved by others. . . . Ed Longacre has deftly removed Gregg's self-imposed shroud and presents the reader with a poignant, long-needed biography of a most deserving soldier."--Robert F. O'Neill, author of Chasing Jeb Stuart and John Mosby, "In Unsung Hero of Gettysburg , Edward G. Longacre has commendably done his part to ensure that David McMurtrie Gregg is unsung no more."--Codie Eash, Civil War Monitor, "Historian Edward Longacre's biography of Gen. David McMurtrie Gregg--the ultimate Civil War cavalry commander--is well crafted, comprehensive, and definitive. It will stand the test of time."--Rod Gragg, author of Confederate Goliath: The Battle of Fort Fisher, "Gen.
