"Viewing his company of men as noble warriors, he describes reconnoitering and raids behind enemy lines, the camaraderie of the mounted troops, his capture and time as a prisoner of war in Ohio, his return hom via North Carolina in the war's waning days, and his immediate assessment of the heroic struggle."-- Library Journal, "Porter's passion for his cause and for the preservation of history are clearly evident. He draws the reader into his world of gunpowder and Rebel spirit as he tells of his personal war experiences and incarceration."-- Lone Star Book Review, ""John M. Porter served with General John Hunt Morgan's Confederate cavalry in many important campaigns in Kentucky and Tennessee. Observant and literate, he conveyed a sense of immediacy and drama in his early-postwar reminiscences.

And by skillfully subdividing the memoir into fourteen chapters, each with its own natural flows and breaks, Brown undoubtedly has mad the piece infinitely more readable. Yet he succeeds admirably in allowing Porter's voice to command and direct the narrative.
