This is the third volume of a projected four-volume work
delineating, in text and voluminous illustrations, every aspect of
the uniforms and equipment of that most colorful of all United
States military forces - the cavalry.In Volumes I and II the author
described and pictured the uniforms, arms, and equipment of the
cavalry from Revolutionary days to the outbreak of the Indian Wars.
In this volume the author addresses the period of the cavalry's
decisive conquest of the Indians and the securing of the western
frontier, the Spanish-American War and the glory of ""Teddy
Roosevelt's boys,"" and the years when the thunder of the Great War
in Europe was echoing ominously across the Atlantic to America.
Each era made its demands upon the horse soldier and his mount, and
the author shows how the government dressed, armed, and supplied
them to meet those demands. Volume III, like the earlier volumes,
is lavishly illustrated with two color plates and 168
black-and-white drawing, meticulously detailed. This book and the
two earlier volumes in the series are indispensable reference works
for researchers and historians of America's military past.
