In this lively account, the author, an avid horseman, explores the key events and figures that defined the cavalry's formative years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the American Revolution, where figures like Henry 'Light-Horse Harry' Lee III and Francis Marion pioneered guerrilla tactics, the narrative moves to Stephen Kearny, known as the 'Father of the Cavalry.' Kearny's Dragoons famously traveled West to California on mules. The account also highlights other iconic figures, including Jonathan 'Stonewall' Jackson, George Crook, who respected the Native Americans he was ordered to fight, and George Armstrong Custer, whose tragic defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 remains a pivotal moment in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe narrative also touches on Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders and Black Jack Pershing, who led his troops in automobiles. This saga of daring raids, epic marches, and grueling battles reflects not only the legacy of the U.S. Cavalry but also the birth and growth of America itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Wormser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399022091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399022095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Frontline Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Richard Wormser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906744537343,"sku":"9781399022095","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7ad97d0-2569-4990-be72-6325e5d4bcaf.jpg?v=1748771298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-yellowlegs-richard-wormser-9781399022095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
