This is the fourth and final volume of Randy Steffen's monumental work, The Horse Soldier. With this volume the work brings together--in nearly a thousand pages of text and nearly 500 illustrations--a comprehensive history of the cavalryman's dress, horse equipment, weaponry -- every item the horse soldier wore, carried, or used--from Revolutionary times to World War II.

Volume IV covers the final twenty-five years--the World War I years, when the United States Cavalry fought for the first time as part of an allied force; the peacetime years, when the cavalry was largely a "show" force; and World War II, when mechanization finally outmoded the horse soldier, and the horse was traded for the tank. The cavalry became history.

Southey on Nelson: The Life of Nelson by Robert Southey
<p>LIVES THAT NEVER GROW OLD</p> <p>A radical new series - edited by Richard Holmes - that recovers the great classical tradition of English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still thrilling to read and vividly alive.</p> <p>This short, brilliant, action-packed biography appeared only eight years after Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar (a scene unforgettably described). It helped transform Nelson into the most popular wartime hero that Britain has ever placed on top of a column.</p> <p>It first gave currency to the proverbial stories of his courage and exhibitionism, from the 'blind eye' at Copenhagen, to 'Kiss me, Hardy' and the scandal of 'Beloved Emma' at Naples. It was written by the romantic poet and historian Robert Southey, a one-time radical who was converted to patriotism by Nelson's shining (though not 'untarnished') example.</p>
