Download or read book The Cavalry Lance written by Alan Larsen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of cavalry firearms and the widespread disappearance of armour from the European battlefield saw a decline in the use of the cavalry lance in early modern warfare. However, by 1800 the lance, much changed from its medieval predecessors in both form and function, was back. During the next century the use of the lance spread to the armed forces of almost every Western country, seeing action in every major conflict from the Napoleonic Wars to World War I including the Crimean and Franco-Prussian wars and across the Atlantic in the American Civil War. The lance even reached the colonial conflicts of the Anglo-Sikh and Boer wars. It was not until the disappearance of the mounted warrior from the battlefield that the lance was consigned to history. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon a variety of sources, this is the engaging story of the cavalry lance at war during the 19th and 20th centuries, from Waterloo to the Somme.

Book Synopsis Californio Lancers by : Tom Prezelski
Download or read book Californio Lancers written by Tom Prezelski and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 16,000 Californians served as soldiers in the Union Army during the Civil War. One California unit, the 1st Battalion of Native Cavalry, consisted largely of Californio Hispanic volunteers from the “Cow Counties” of Southern California and the Central Coast. Out-of-work vaqueros who enlisted after drought decimated the herds they worked, the Native Cavalrymen lent the army their legendary horsemanship and carried lances that evoked both the romance of the Californios and the Spanish military tradition. Californio Lancers, the first detailed history of the 1st Battalion, illuminates their role in the conflict and brings new diversity to Civil War history. Author Tom Prezelski notes that the Californios, less than a generation removed from the U.S.-Mexican War, were ambivalent about serving in the Union Army, but poverty trumped their misgivings. Based on his extensive research in the service records of individual officers and enlisted men, Prezelski describes both the problems and the accomplishments of the 1st Battalion. Despite a desertion rate among enlisted men that exceeded 50 percent for some companies, and despite the feuds among its officers, the Native Cavalry was the face of federal authority in the region, and their presence helped retain the West for the Union during the rebellion. The battalion pursued bandits, fought an Indian insurrection in northern California, garrisoned Confederate-leaning southern California, patrolled desert trails, guarded the border, and attempted to control the Chiricahua Apaches in southern Arizona. Although some ten thousand Spanish-surnamed Americans served during the Civil War, their support of the Union is almost unknown in the popular imagination. Californio Lancers contributes to our understanding of the Civil War in the Far West and how it transformed the Mexican-American community.

Book Synopsis Cavalry Operations in the Ancient Greek World by : Robert E. Gaebel
Download or read book Cavalry Operations in the Ancient Greek World written by Robert E. Gaebel and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive narrative, Robert E. Gaebel challenges conventional views of cavalry operations in the Greek world. Applying both military and historical perspectives, Gaebel shows that until the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., cavalry played a larger role than is commonly recognized. Gaebel traces the operational use of cavalry in the ancient Greek world from circa 500 to 150 B.C., the end of Greek and Macedonian independence. Emphasizing the Greek and Hellenistic periods (359322 B.C.), he provides information about the military use of horses in the eastern Mediterranean, Greek stable management and horse care, and broad battlefield goals.
Book Synopsis The Sword Arm of Chivalry: The History of a Militant Culture by : James M. Volo
Download or read book The Sword Arm of Chivalry: The History of a Militant Culture written by James M. Volo and published by Right Form of War. This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of an era dominated by militancy: both warlike and religious, if the two can be separated. The true interest in the centuries of the early Middle Ages lies with the gradual evolution of new forms of military efficiency, which ended in the establishment of a military caste (knights) as the chief power in war and the human mechanism of government. The existence of feudalism and its association with the Christian Church is one of the most important factors concerning the Middle Ages. In the medieval period, the individual mounted warrior seemingly held sway for an extended time
Book Synopsis Exercise and Manoeuvres of the Lance (1820) by : LT Colonel
Download or read book Exercise and Manoeuvres of the Lance (1820) written by LT Colonel and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally intended to be a new military training manual on the lance and its use by British Cavalry. Lancers were the fast shock troops of an army, as well as reconnaissance units. Their weapons were lance and sometimes also the sabre, but the lance was the weapon which instilled fear in foot troops. The book is illustrated with 19 full page line drawings of the lance and the various positions in which it was carried and used to attack. The drawings are themselves collector s items, but when added to the text the real value of lancers becomes clear. The text is above all a drill manual, for most operational activities were merely extensions of what was learned on the parade ground or the drill field. There are constant references to the Polish Lancers, who had gained such a reputation in the Napoleonic Wars, and the whole book gives a complete picture of the cavalry regiment, its component squadrons and the individual lancers themselves.
