As was the custom in the 19th century, foreign nations sent observers to other nations' wars, where these observers could learn tactics, see the latest weaponry, and report back to their own country. General George B. McClellan was an observer of the Crimean War and saw the Siege of Sevestapol, which heavily influenced his tactics during the Civil War. The Confederacy had a few of them, most notably the British observer Arthur Fremantle, who witnessed Gettysburg. But Heros von Borcke had no intention of being an observer. Coming ashore in May 1862, the 6'4 "giant in gray" and his huge Solingen straight sword cut the ideal image for a cavalry officer, especially one under the swashbuckling J.E.B. Stuart's command. Heros von Borcke had a colorful career in service of the Confederacy, coming into contact with famous soldiers like the "Gallant" John Pelham and J.E.B. Stuart himself, who admired the Prussian and eventually made him chief of staff. Von Borcke was also present at some of the war's most noteworthy campaigns, including Stuart's famous ride around McClellan's army, the Battle of Fredericksburg, and the Battle of Yellow Tavern, where Stuart was mortally wounded. Von Borcke was nearly killed by a shot to the neck just before the Battle of Gettysburg, but he recovered to continue fighting in 1864 through the rest of the war. In 1876, von Borcke wrote these memoirs warmly recalling his Confederate comrades and descriptively telling the tale of the Civil War. When von Borcke died on May 10, 1895, 31 years to the date of the Battle of Yellow Tavern, it was due to complications from the grievous wound he suffered during the Battle of Middleburg in June 1863.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence, Vol. 2 of 2Meanwhile the rain, which had been falling when we rode off from The Bower, had ceased, a keen north wind had set in, and it had begun to freeze hard, when, late at night, we reached Berry'ville, chilled, wet, and hungry. The provisions of the country had been more or less consumed by the troops who had preceded us on the march, and it was therefore regarded as exceedingly apropos that we were invited to supper by a prominent citizen, at whose pleasant house we greatly enj oyed a warm cup of tea, a capital old Virginia ham, and afterwards a pipe of Virginia tobacco before a roaring wood-fire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE SUMMER CAMPAIGN -- FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA--CAVALRY FIGHTS IN LOUDON AND FAUQUIER COUNTIES -- THE CAVALRY FIGHT NEAR MIDDLEBURG, 19TH OF JUNE -- I AM SEVERELY WOUNDED--STAY AT UPPERVILLE, AND RETREAT FROM THERE TO MR B.'s PLANTATION--THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF MY STAY IN THE CONFEDERACY--DEPARTURE FOR RICHMOND, AND SOJOURN AT THE CAPITAL AND IN THE VICINITY--WINTER 1863-84--STUART'S DEATH --DEPARTURE FOR ENGLAND. General Lee had by this completed his preparations for an advance into the enemy's country, whither the theatre of war was now to be transferred; and, whilst a comparatively small body of troops still maintained a show in front of the Federals at Fredericksburg, the bulk of our army was being concentrated in the vicinity of Culpepper, apparently without any suspicion of the fact on the part of the enemy's commander-in-chief. The first object General Lee sought to compass, was to clear the valley of Virginia of its hostile occupants and to capture the 284 COMMENCEMENT OF OFFENSIVE MOVEMENTS. town of Winchester. Ewell with his troops had already started in that direction some days before, and on the 15th the rest of onr infantry began to move forward. Stuart was ordered to cover the movements of our army and protect its flank by marching on the Fauquier side of the Blue Eidge Mountains; and accordingly the morning of the 16th found us betimes en route, and in high glee at the thought of once more invading Yankeedom. Having crossed the Hazel and Bappahannock rivers, we marched on in the same line we had followed in our retreat of November '62, and at noon halted for an hour to feed our horses at the little town of Orleans, where General Stuart and his Staff made a point of...

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence, Vol. 1 of 2 The kind interest with which the public received the Memoirs as they appeared in 'Blackwood's Magazine' induced me to think of republishing them. When they were on the point of republication, the news reached me that my King had called his people to arms against Austria and her allies. I offered at once my sword to my native country, and had the proud satisfaction of fighting, in the army of Prince Frederick Charles, in the great battle of Konigsgraetz, and of taking part in the victorious advance through Bohemia, Moravia, and the Duchy of Austria.
