Men, Horses, and All Kinds of Weapons
It may startle some people to remember that, little more than a
century ago, the horse was not only humanity's primary means of
swift transportation, it was also a major participant in warfare.
For more than four thousand years, men mounted horses and galloped
at one another in large numbers, wielding clubs, axes, lances,
swords, bows and arrows, pistols, rifles, and more. They charged
into swarms of arrows, hales of bullets, volcanoes of cannon fire,
and legions of other men on horseback, chopping, stabbing, hurling
spears, and firing guns. And their exploits became the stuff of
romance, drama, and legend.
"Mounted Warriors" brings you back through the millennia to
discover the beginnings and the development of warfare on horseback
and meet some of the most remarkable, daring, and courageous men
who ever spurred a charger from trot to gallop. You'll find out how
Alexander trained Bucephalus to the saddle when all others failed,
how Cromwell was transformed by battle, what several British
generals had to say about Light-Horse Harry Lee, and why Phil
Sheridan changed his horse's name. You'll even learn how the
romantic novels of Sir Walter Scott influenced the nature of the
American Civil War.
The age of the cavalry charge may be past, but when you read
"Mounted Warriors," you'll rediscover all of its drama, pageantry,
and glory.
