Excerpt from History of the United States Cavalry: From the Formation of the Federal Government to the 1st of June, 1863; A List of All of the Cavalry Regiments, With the Names of Their Commanders, Which Have Been in the United States Service Since the Breaking Out of the Rebellion
The Cavalry Service in the United States of America has never been properly appreciated, and that is my reason for writing this book. I have served several years in the Cavalry, and know that our mounted men have not half as many friends as they ought to have, nor as many as they would have if they exerted themselves a little more in recounting their many good deeds. We have had among us some noble men and excellent soldiers; and while our countrymen point with pride to the names of Covington, Johnson, Coffee, Harney, Sumner, Kearney, McClellan, Thomas, Sedgwick, and Hunter, we can feel that it was in our corps they received much of their best training.
Our mounted force during the rebellion is far larger than any which has ever belonged to any nation on earth; and as time moves on, and our men become more experienced, their deeds will become brighter and their fame more extended. Our Cavalry soldiers are becoming better every year, and it is safe to say that the finishing blows to the rebellion will be dealt by them.
