The third volume of a four-volume work (volumes 1 and 2 covered the period from revolutionary days to the Indian Wars). Here, the author addresses the period of the cavalry's decisive conquest of the Indians and the securing of the western frontier, "Teddy Roosevelt's boys" and more.

The second volume of a four-volume work (volume I deals with the period from 1776 to 1850). In this volume the author addresses the eventful, bloody, tragic mid-19th century, describing the dress and equipment of the horse soldier of the early frontier, the Mexican War and other conflicts.

A delineation, in words and pictures, of aspects of the attire and equipment of the United States cavalry, representing the culmination of more than 20 years of research. The author analyzes the bits and pieces of gear with which the horse soldier of the period was equipped and clothed.

Covers the final 25 years in the history of the cavalryman: the World War I years, when the US Cavalry fought for the first time as part of an allied force; the peacetime years, when the cavalry was largely a "show" force; and World War II, when mechanization finally outmoded the horse soldier.
