With color and
verve, Gregory J. W. Urwin presents the history of the mounted forces of
the United States. He combines combat reports, personality profiles,
and political and social overviews to present a complete picture of a
bygone era extending from the Revolutionary War well into the twentieth
century. For more than a century, the U.S. Cavalry played a prominent
role in American military conflicts, serving as both a frontier police
force and as a major combat arm in the republic’s conventional wars.
Urwin begins his story in New York City in 1776 with the Continental
Light Dragoons and continues it through the days of the "pony soldiers"
of the western plains, including detailed coverage of Lieutenant Colonel
George Armstrong Custer’s 7th Cavalry Regiment. Urwin concludes with
descriptions of General John J. Pershing’s 1916 Punitive Expedition into
Mexico and the exploits of the 26th U.S. Cavalry, the only United
States mounted outfit to see combat in World War II, during the defense
of the Philippines in 1941-42.
