This is quite simply the most important book ever written in the
English language by a military man on the subject of equestrian
travel. It was designed to be used by the United States cavalry.
Yet it differs from traditional manuals in that it has says nothing
about drills and everything about horse journeys. If you want to
learn how to properly pack and ride a horse over extremely long
distances, then you are holding the cavalry man's sacred text in
your hands. At the dawn of the 20th century experts were busy
predicting the imminent demise of the horse. Mankind's most
historically influential comrade would make way for the automobile,
cynics said. Yet the young author of this remarkable volume
disagreed with the critics. No machine of steam and steel, of cog
or cam, no vapor-fed motor, no craft propelled by batteries or
boilers would ever successfully displace the horse from our
on-going needs, advised Boniface. Part text book, part history book
and all inspiration, "The Cavalry Horse and His Pack" is the
lasting tribute to the great horseman and talented writer who
foresaw the day when horse travel would once again flourish and a
book such as this one would be cherished by unforeseen generations
of Long Riders, cavalry students and horse lovers.
