The Horse Soldiers
:''Horse Soldiers (2009) is a book written by Doug Stanton about US forces in Afghanistan''
''The Horse Soldiers'' (1959) is a drama film set in Mississippi during the American Civil War. Loosely based on Harold Sinclair's 1956 novel by the same name, it was directed by John Ford and starred John Wayne, William Holden and Constance Towers. Althea Gibson, US tennis champion, had a minor role and insisted that her dialogue be rewritten, as she found its dialect demeaning. John Lee Mahin and Martin Rackin produced the movie and wrote its screenplay.
==Background ==
The film was loosely based on Harold Sinclair's 1956 novel of the same name. It was based on the historic 17-day Grierson's Raid and the climactic Battle of Newton's Station in Mississippi, part of the Union campaign to take control of the Mississippi River.
In April 1863, Colonel Benjamin Grierson led 1700 Illinois and Iowa soldiers from LaGrange, Tennessee to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, through several hundred miles of enemy territory, to destroy railroad and supply lines between Newton's Station and Vicksburg, Mississippi. Grierson's raid was part of the Union Vicksburg campaign, culminating in the Battle of Vicksburg to gain control over boat traffic on the Mississippi river. The disruption of the Confederate-controlled railroad upset the plans and troop deployments of Confederate General John C. Pemberton. General William Tecumseh Sherman reportedly described Grierson's daring mission as "the most brilliant of the war".〔Malham, J. ''John Ford: Poet in the Desert''. Lake Street Press (2013), pp. 261-2.
