| Summary | "A Brief Narrative of the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, Wheeler's Corps, Army of Tennessee" by George B. Guild is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences and operations involving the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry during the American Civil War, providing insight into military engagements, organizational structure, and personal recollections from the civil conflicts. It serves as a tribute to the individuals who fought within the regiment while recounting their substantial role in larger battles and campaigns. The opening of the narrative begins with Guild explaining the impetus for writing the history of the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, prompted by requests from fellow soldiers. He acknowledges the passage of time, highlighting the challenges of recollection so many years after the war and the loss of many comrades. The first chapter introduces the organization of the regiment under Colonel Baxter Smith and its early movements, including outpost duties in Franklin, skirmishes near Murfreesboro, and preparations for engagements with Federal forces. Guild describes various encounters with the enemy, the camaraderie among the troops, and the hardships faced during the war, setting the stage for a detailed chronicle of the regiment's combat history and achievements.
