Summary
Details

The early years of the United States Cavalry to 1863

This book commences with the campaigns of United States mounted troops during the pre-Civil War period and thereafter within the conflagration which threatened to split the Union. The revolutionary period is only briefly considered, so the first service recorded is in the Black Hawk War followed by the Mexican War and thereafter the various thrilling and enthralling campaigns fought against the Native American Indian tribes of the interior. During the Civil War numbers of regiments  associated to the participating states, including cavalry, increased enormously. Given the scale of the conflict the author, whose views reflect the period during which this text was published (1865), has concentrated on those actions he considered most noteworthy within his terms of reference. The book concludes with a useful list of all the cavalry regiments in service. During the Mexican War one cavalry action in particular inspired the nation- May's charge at Resaca de la Palma. An eye witness account of the event is included for reader's interest. Contains illustrations which did not appear in the original edition
