Author Description

Excerpt from Cavalry Sam, or the Raiders of the Shenandoah: A Thrilling Tale of Sheridan and His Men Sam fell to thinking. The bushwhackers had settled listlessly down in their places. Plainly, they did not know aught of the Union cavalrymen. Even the bird-calls from beyond the ridge fell heedlessly on their hearing. Quite enough they certainly were, but it was like the sleep of a panther. Once arouse them and they would be merci less, and it would be almost miraculous if some one of them did not soon intrude in the thicket. As has been said, Sam fell to thinking. He wanted to get out of the trap badly, but how was it to be done?, Clearly, not by stealth, for no such way was open. If he went, it must be openly. How would a dash succeed?
