Every Marine has heard stories about the legendary "China Marines"
who served in China before the Second World War. Many of these
stories feature the small group of Horse Marines stationed at the
American Legation in Peiping who patrolled the city streets and the
surrounding Chinese countryside. Riding small, tough, Mongolian
ponies and armed with their Model 1913 Patton sabers, these Horse
Marines protected American missionaries and businessmen from bands
of roving Chinese bandits. The Horse Marines, known as the Mounted
Detachment, were considered to be the elite of all China Marines.
Illustrated with over 420 rare and previously unpublished Horse
Marine items and photographs, including drawings and watercolors by
Col. John W. Thomason, this book offers a unique perspective into
the life of John R. Angstadt, one China Horse Marine.
