November 9, 1865 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "History of the United States Cavalry, From the Formation of the Federal Government to the 1st of June, 1863," by Albert G. Brackett. This interesting work commences with a description of the first mounted force authorized by Government, organized in 1793, and gives an account of the gradual development of cavalry until it reached its maximum importance at the climax of our recent war. Considering that the book was written by a cavalry officer, for the purpose of placing graphically before the public this arm of the service, by recording the results of its battles, and the dashing gallantry of individuals, it deserves a place in every library as a work for information and reference.
