The Color of Brandy

Raymond Smecker

  • 1600


The First Vermont Cavalry had 1,200 Morgan horses supplied for the Civil War and only about 200 of the original horses survived. This is the story of Brandy a Vermont Morgan horse, his owners, the First Vermont Cavalry, and the Emmitsburg Daughters of Charity and their involvement in the War, especially at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is also a wholesome love story—love for a woman, a horse, and for God and country. Historical fiction. (278pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2018.)

A Good Read
“A well written story of the influence the Vermont Cavalry mounted on Morgan Horses changed the outcome of the Civil War. Factual and well written, the author’s love of the Morgan breed shines through.”
