宾夕法尼亚州第21骑兵队来自该州中南部地区，在内战第三个夏天的葛底斯堡战役中组建。其魅力四射的军官包括威廉·H·博伊德（William H.Boyd）和奥利弗·B·诺尔斯（Oliver B.Knowles），他们在早些时候与可怕的南方联盟战术家约翰·莫斯比（John Mosby）和约翰·因博登（John Imboden）的战争中磨练了自己的战斗能力。该团的作战记录是动态的、艰苦的，包括在米德和格兰特手下以步兵身份在冷港服役，最后一次在阿波马托克斯法院以骑兵身份冲锋。战后，退伍军人继续向他们的同志致敬，葛底斯堡竖立了两座纪念碑，以纪念该团自豪的服役。作家布里特·查尔斯·伊森伯格（Britt Charles Isenberg）记录了宾夕法尼亚州第21骑兵队的艰苦历史。
21st Pennsylvania Cavalry: From Gettysburg to Appomattox (Civil War)
Hailing from the south-central region of the state, the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry was forged during the Gettysburg Campaign in the third summer of the Civil War. Its charismatic officers included William H. Boyd and Oliver B. Knowles, who had honed their fighting prowess earlier in the war against fearsome Confederate tacticians John Mosby and John Imboden. The regiment’s war record was dynamic and arduous, including service under Meade and Grant at Cold Harbor as infantry and making the last charge at Appomattox Court House as cavalry. After the war, veterans continued to honor their comrades, and two monuments were erected at Gettysburg to commemorate the regiment’s proud service. Author Britt Charles Isenberg chronicles the gritty history of the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry.
