I Rode with Wallace

A few of my blog readers asked me to share this story of my military career as a series of blogs. When I set out writing about this saga I was just writing. I had not planned for it to evolve into lessons about leadership but it did. Years before I set out on my military journey a young officer on the staff of Thomas J Stonewall Jackson wrote I Rode with Stonewall. I never really gave General William Scott Wallace a nickname but if I had this book would be called I Rode with the Calm Man or I Rode with the Quiet Man. I Rode with Wallace is about the modern U.S. Cavalry and my ride in it even though that ride only lasted eight years. I did ride with Wallace for three of those eight but I also rode with Cook and Broll Mitchell and Vanwinkle Charlton and Hardesty Bates and McCoy. The book is organized into eight primary parts based on blogs I wrote. Yet there is more material than appeared in the blogs including some unit histories and additional anecdotes.
