Alfred Gibbs, commanders, Reserve Brigade, Shehndoah Valley

On this day in 1864, Colonel Alfred Gibbs of the 19th NY Cavalry (aka 1st NY Dragoons) assumed command of the Reserve Brigade in the Shenandoah Valley.  That day, the brigade marched from near Halltown on the road to White Post, met Confederate pickets and drove them towards Newtown, and camped that night near White Post.

Welcome to Regular Cavalry in the Civil War, the blog that was formerly known as Crossed Sabers on Blogger.  I made the decision to jump to WordPress because as an information compilation blog, it is much easier to organize, search and access information on this site.  The name change was necessary because my former title is a Star Wars site on WordPress.  I believe a fresh start will be helpful from a posting standpoint as well, as posting became very infrequent during the effort to finish the 6th US Cavalry manuscript.  My new project on the Reserve Brigade should lead to more, not fewer posts.  My goal is at least two per week.

The site is currently under construction, as I organize info and figure out the workings of the site.  What does the picture have to do with Regular Cavalry in the Civil War?  Absolutely nothing, I’m working on it.
