Description
Book SynopsisCovers 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.
Trade ReviewThe late Randy Steffen has produced what is probably the most wellresearched, accurate book in
The Horse Soldier series. The detailed pen and ink drawings, as always, are first rate. The volume stands as a fine memorial to Steffen and a fitting salute to the old Army."" -
Journal of Arizona History""This volume is filled with thorough research and exact documentation. . . . This entire series will stand as the authoritative work on the American horse soldier's equipment and uniforms.""
- South Dakota History ""Randy Steffen's
The Horse Soldier is indeed a definitive reference. Artists, museum curators, collectors, writers, historians, and exhibit preparers concerned about the historical accuracy relative to the uniforms, arms, and equipment of the United States Cavalry will find these volumes indispensable."" -
