Book Description: "The Epic Journey of the Second Rhode Island Cavalry"Overview Embark on a riveting historical journey with "The Epic Journey of the Second Rhode Island Cavalry." This meticulously researched book unveils the dramatic and untold story of a cavalry regiment's formation, trials, and ultimate deactivation during the American Civil War. Preface InsightsActivation and Expansion Activated by gubernatorial order in August 1862, the Second Rhode Island Cavalry initially formed as a battalion under Major Augustus W. Corliss in Providence. Swift volunteer response led to the regiment's full-size formation by November 1862, setting the stage for its active participation in the Department of the Gulf at New Orleans. Dynamic Deployments Engaged in reconnaissance and patrol duties in Banks' command, the regiment played a crucial role in the initial move on Port Hudson in March 1863. Responding to the critical need for cavalry, the unit moved west of the Mississippi, attempting to outflank Confederate positions, with subsequent deployments to Alexandria, Louisiana. Challenges and Mutiny Major Robert C. Anthony's illness prompted a defensive move to Brashear City, where a Confederate drive led to a surprise attack, resulting in the capture of the garrison. Battling casualties, sickness, and desertions, the regiment faced consolidation, deactivation, and a mutiny against Colonel Harold Robinson, challenging the order. Controversial Actions Robinson's harsh response to the mutiny, including the execution of two ringleaders, stirred strong sentiments in Providence. Despite public outcry, a Court of Inquiry acquitted Robinson, revealing the complexities of wartime command decisions. Preface ReflectionsHistorical Exploration Delve into the fascinating task of tracing a unit's history during the American Civil War, with a particular focus on the Second Rhode Island Cavalry. The narrative spans the entire life cycle of the regiment, from activation in Providence in April 1862 to deactivation in Thibodaux, Louisiana, in August 1863. Sources and Acknowledgments Richly sourced from state officials, military reports, newspapers, and secondary works, the book draws from repositories like the University of Rhode Island and the Providence Public Library. Acknowledges the invaluable support of individuals who contributed to the completion of this work. Conclusion "The Epic Journey of the Second Rhode Island Cavalry" offers readers an immersive exploration of a tumultuous period in American history, providing fresh insights into the challenges faced by a cavalry regiment during the Civil War.
