Overview

This is the third volume of a four-volume work. In volumes 1 and 2 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.
