Later he became a cavalry general and commanded a cavalry Corps consisting of 2 Divisions of 2 brigades each. He was considered the most famous cavalry commander of the Civil War and one of the bravest. He was wounded several times and had many horses shot out from under him. After one battle, his cavalry was in charge of holding back the Union troops while the army retreated. He called a charge against the enemy but he was the only one to charge them. He had to fight his way out and he pulled one enemy soldier onto his horse as a shield but he was still shot in the back at close range---but survived. One of his most famous battle victories was the Battle of Brice's Crossroads. In this battle he attacked a force twice the size of his and completely routed them.
