"The Comanches: A History of White's Battalion, Virginia Cavalry" by Frank M. Myers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the experiences and valorous deeds of White's Battalion during the American Civil War, focusing on the adventures of Captain Elijah V. White and his men. It provides insights into the struggles, battles, and day-to-day life of Confederate soldiers, characterized by a deep sense of loyalty to their cause and each other. The opening of this historical account presents a vivid preface in which Captain Myers, a former officer of the unit, reflects on the honor and bravery of his fellow soldiers. He acknowledges the challenges he faced in documenting their history, especially due to lost records following the war. Myers emphasizes the importance of preserving the memory of these men who fought for what they believed was the "Lost Cause," showcasing their courage amidst the devastation of war. The narrative then begins to delve into the story of Elijah V. White, from his early life to his military exploits, hinting at the gallant and often dangerous adventures that lay ahead for him and his battalion. The detailed accounts capture the spirit of the Confederate cavalrymen while setting the stage for their further endeavors in the conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
