- Summary:
- Ulric Dahlgren was a brilliant, ambitious young man who became the youngest full colonel in the United States Army at the age of twenty-one, yet died before his twenty-second birthday. This is the first biography of Dahlgren, and thankfully it was penned by cavalry expert and award-winning author Eric J. Wittenberg.Wittenberg's account chronicles Dahlgren's full life story, with a deep look at his military career and extensive connections within the nation's capital, all of which led to the climax of his life: the notorious Dahlgren Raid.Like a Meteor Burning Brightly: The Short but Controvers
