Excerpt from Ohio in the War, Vol. 1: Her Statesmen, Her Generals, and Soldiers; History of the State During the War and the Lives of Her Generals The work owes its origin to Mr. William H. Moore, the senior partner of the house bv which it is published. As early as in the summer of 1863 he visited me in Washington to arrange for its preparation. Its main features were then agreed upon, and he straightway set about procur ing such facts for it as were then accessible. I desire now to add that but for his zeal, courage, and energy the work would probably have failed of completion. It was a part of the contract made by Mr. Moore on behalf of the publishers, that they should procure for me all books, documentary matter, personal statements, etc., necessary for the preparation of the work. In pursuance of this arrangement, they have employed persons of apparent fitness for such service to visit the armies in the field, and, since the close of the war to wait upon officers of regiments, Generals, private soldiers - upon any one, in short, who might be thought able to contribute any fact not yet known or cast light upon any occurrence hitherto ill understood.

Excerpt from Nolan's System for Training Cavalry Horses Since this book was put in the printer's hands, I have been travelling on the Continent. Everywhere, I found that Monsieur Baucher's new Méthode had excited much attention, and not a little jealousy amongst the followers of the old system. Books and pamphlets have been published, trying to turn into ridicule the bold intruder, who, in two months, brings his horses to do what years could not accomplish in the old school. In France, Baucher's Methode was subjected to a trial, which, according to the reports of many mem bers of the committee, was eminently successful. The system was rejected notwithstanding; but some of the bending lessons - the most important part of his methods - were retained, and are now made use of in the French cavalry.

Kenner Garrard was born in Kentucky while his mother was on a short visit from the family home in Cincinnati, Ohio.
His father, Jeptha Dudley Garrard, was a lawyer of high standing, and his great-grandfather, James Garrard, militia officer of the Revolution, was twice elected governor of Kentucky.
His mother was Sarah Bella Ludlow (1802 - 1882), whose father, Israel Ludlow, was early a landed proprietor of Cincinnati.
Young Garrard entered Harvard University with the class of 1848 but left in his sophomore year to enter West Point from the state of Ohio.
Graduating in 1851, eighth in his class, he received the assignment to the 4th Artillery, but a year later, he transferred to the 1st Dragoons, and after much frontier service, was captured, April 23, 1861, by Texas troops not yet affiliated with the Confederacy.
After parole, and short service in the office of the commissary-general and as instructor and commandant of cadets at West Point, Kenner Garrard was exchanged, and immediately received an appointment as colonel, 146th New York Volunteers.
He participated with his regiment in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg; and for gallant services at Gettysburg where he commanded a brigade after the death of its commander, he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel in the regular army.
Shortly after, on July 23, 1863, he was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers.
He received the brevet of colonel, July 22, 1864, for meritorious services in the expedition against Covington, Georgia. In December of the same year, he was assigned to the 2nd Division, XVI Army Corps, which he commanded until the end of the war.
On March 13, 1865, he was brevetted major-general in the regular army for gallant and meritorious services throughout the war. He commanded the District of Mobile until mustered out of the volunteer service, August 24, 1865; and was assistant inspector-general, Department of Missouri, until he resigned from the army, November 9, 1866.
Returning to Cincinnati, Garrard devoted much time to the management of his large real-estate interests, and, declining to enter politics, to the promotion of the welfare of the city.
He served on various local administrative commissions, was director of the Musical Festival.
His sudden death, the result of intestinal complications, was a shock to the community in which for thirteen years he had exerted an influence for good. He was buried at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Kenner Garrard took part in the Rapidan campaign - participating in combats at Rappahannock Station and at Mine Run; was in charge of the cavalry bureau at Washington; and early in 1864, was transferred to the Army of the Cumberland to command the 2nd Cavalry Division in the operations of Sherman’s army. He took part in the battles before Nashville - receiving the brevet of major-general of volunteers for conspicuous gallantry, and of brigadier-general in the regular army for gallant and meritorious services. He also had an important part in the operations against Mobile, personally leading a storming column in the capture of Blakeley, Georgia, April 3-9, and participated in the movement against Montgomery, Alabama, April 13-27, 1865.
