Product Description
Book Description
Confederate general Joseph O. Shelby and his legendary Iron Brigade refused to acknowledge the end of the Civil War. Instead, they fought their way to Mexico in search of a place where they could continue to defy the U.S. government. These veteran Missouri cavalrymen clawed their way for fifteen hundred miles, fighting Juaristas, Indians, desperados, and disgruntled gringos. They disbanded only after they had offered their services to Emperor Maximilian and were turned down. Shelby's adjutant, journalist John N. Edwards, first published his story of the exploits of this superb mounted brigade and its quixotic final march in 1872. Conger Beasley provides a lively introduction that includes the first biographical sketch of the author. The 1969 move The Undefeated starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson was based upon Shelby's expedition.

ordered wrong book, July 3 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I ordered this book but it turns out I ordered the wrong one. I wanted the newer printed one. This book is exactly as described, just not the one I wanted. This book is written with older style type and is not easy to read. However, the seller gave a good description and it was mailed promptly. The mistake was mine.
