"Author D. Michael Thomas presents the previously untold story of the Iron Scouts for the first time.Serving from late 1862 to the war&#39;s end, Wade Hampton&#39;s Scouts were a key component of the comprehensive intelligence network designed by Generals Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart and Wade Hampton. The Scouts were stationed behind enemy lines on a permanent basis and provided critical military intelligence to their generals. They became proficient in &quot;unconventional&quot; warfare and emerged unscathed in so many close-combat actions that their foes grudgingly dubbed them Hampton&#39;s &quot;Iron Scouts.&quot;"
