American Cavalry Blueprint Library
Courtesy of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum
The
world of the early 20th century American cavalryman can now be
explored on-line thanks to the donation of the greatest treasure trove of
American cavalry information ever gathered. More than 250 original blueprints,
ranging from 1904 to 1940, have been released by the U.S. Army Quartermaster
Museum and are now available in this unique LRG-AF collection.
In addition to the
legendary McClellan riding saddle and the famous Phillips pack saddle., all of
the items once used on a daily basis by mounted troopers can now be inspected,
including bridles, saddlebags, hobbles, stirrups, picket pins, farrier tools and
hundreds of other cavalry paraphernalia.
This extraordinary act
of scholastic generosity was authorized by Mr. Luther Hanson, Curator of the
U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum. Since 1775
this special branch of the military has supported American soldiers via an
unexpected number of services, including the procurement and training of horses
and mules for military use.
With the release of
these historically vital blueprints, the Quartermaster Museum has now encouraged
the further
study of the
American cavalry by the international academic equestrian community. For more
information on the astonishing collection of artifacts available for public
inspection, please visit the Quartermaster Museums website -
