J.E.B. Stuart's Ride to Gettysburg: The History of the Most Controversial Cavalry Operation of the Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
The failure to crush the Federal army in Pennsylvania in 1863, in the opinion of almost all of the officers of the Army of Northern Virginia, can be expressed in five words - the absence of the cavalry. - Confederate General Henry Heth As Robert E. Lee's army moved into Pennsylvania in June 1863, Stuart's cavalry screened his movements, thereby engaging in the more traditional cavalry roles. This time, however, as Lee began his march north through the Shenandoah Valley in western Virginia, it is highly unlikely that is what he wanted or expected. Before setting out on June 25, the methodical Lee gave Stuart specific instructions as to the role he was to play in the Pennsylvania offensive. As the eyes of the army, the cavalry was to guard the mountain passes with part of his force. Maintaining contact with Ewell's army as it advanced towards Harrisburg. Instead of taking the most direct route north near the Blue Ridge Mountains, however, Stuart chose a much more ambitious course of action. Stuart decided to march his three best brigades between the Union army and Washington. To complicate matters even more, as Stuart set out on June 25 on what was probably a glory-seeking mission, he was unaware that his intended path was blocked by columns of Union infantry that would invariably force him to veer farther east than he or Lee had anticipated. Ultimately, his decision would prevent him from linking up with Ewell as ordered and deprive Lee of his primary cavalry force as he advanced deeper and deeper into unfamiliar enemy territory. According to Halsey Wigfall (son of Confederate States Senator Louis Wigfall) who was in Stuart’s infantry, "Stuart and his cavalry left [Lee’s] army on June 24 and did not contact [his] army again until the afternoon of July 2, the second day of the [Gettysburg] battle." ungekürzt.

The West Point Class of 1846: The Cadets and History of the Academy's Most Famous Class , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
Profiles the class of 1846's most famous cadets, including George McClellan, Stonewall Jackson, George Pickett, A. P. Hill, and others. Discusses the relationships between the cadets and their lives during and after West Point. "Toiling uphill is not what it is cracked up to be!" (Cadet George B. McClellan) West Point has long been America's most famous military academy, but in the early 19th century it was a highly unimpressive school consisting of a few ugly buildings facing a desolate, barren parade ground. Established with just five officers and 10 cadets of the Corps of Engineers on March 16, 1802, the academy was built on a spot just 50 miles north of New York City, which had been a key Hudson River military fortress during the Revolutionary War. Cadets attending during the Point's first several decades were obliged to maintain their daily regimen knowing the school might shut down at any moment, as the US government frequently questioned why it should provide free education. As it turned out, West Point would become the foremost military academy in the nation, and it would churn out the cadets who became the most important generals in the Civil War. The future generals' years at West Point became a source of both camaraderie and colorful stories. A clerical error by West Point administrators ensured that Hiram Ulysses Grant forever became known as Ulysses S. Grant; and years after Robert E. Lee met Albert Sidney Johnston and Jefferson Davis at West Point, George H. Thomas and William Tecumseh Sherman met each other - and Richard S. Ewell. During the 1850s classes included men like John Bell Hood, Union general Phil Sheridan, and James Birdseye McPherson, who would become the only commanding general of a Union army to die in a Civil War battle. ungekürzt.
