Download or read book The Cowboy Cavalry written by Gordon Errett Tolton and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Native and Métis unrest escalated into the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, white settlers in southern Alberta`s cattle country were terrified. Three major First Nations bordered their range, and war seemed certain. In anticipation, 114 men mustered to form the Rocky Mountain Rangers, a volunteer militia charged with ensuring the safety of the open range between the Rocky Mountains and the Cypress Hills. The Rangers were a motley crew, from ex-Mounties and ex-cons to retired, high-ranking military officials and working ranch hands. Membership qualifications were scant: ability to ride a horse, knowledge of the prairies, and preparedness to die. The Rangers were resolutely prepared to fight, as mounted cavalry, should the rebellion spread. This is their story, inextricably linked to the dissensions of the day, rife with skirmishes, corruption, jealousies, rumour, innuendo and gross media sensationalizing . . . all bound together with what author Gordon Tolton terms "a generous helping of gunpowder."

Download or read book Who Rush to Glory written by Clifford Peter Westermeier and published by . This book was released on 1958 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the thousands who answered President McKinley's call for volunteers to fight in the Spanish-American War, there were three patriotic men who conceived, almost simultaneously, the idea of creating cowboy volunteer cavalry regiments to lead the United States forces against the enemy. Who Rush to Glory recounts the story of these three men--Theodore Roosevelt, Jay L. Torrey, and Melvin Grigsby, leaders, respectively, of the First, Second, and Third United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiments--and of the three reputedly cowboy regiments. New concerning the regiments immediately captured the fancy of the press. In the ensuing months of this short war--only 115 days--journalists followed in detail the recruiting, training, travels, trials, successes, tragedies, and even the mustering out of these three army units, and it is upon their newspaper reports that Mr. Westermeier relies for material for his account of the Cowboy Volunteers of 1898 and their leaders. Clifford P. Westermeier has translated the newspaper dispatches into a lively yet homey and human account of the day-by-day events surrounding the leaders, the regiments, and the cowboy volunteers who served their country in the Spanish-American War. The carefree, unsuspecting attitude and the boyish naïveté of the volunteers is contrasted sharply with the serious but unimaginative efforts and, sometimes, the pomposity of their leaders. Of the three regiments, only Roosevelt's Rough Riders actually met the enemy, but the other two faced foes almost as real. Grigsby's Cowboys fought their sickening battle in foul-smelling encampments against disease and boredom; tragedy and death plagued Torrey's Terrors, and their hopes and tenacity shattered amid scenes of disappointment and inactivity. Who Rush to Glory presents the dramatic story of the staunch horsemen from mountain and plain who served their country well--a cavalcade that marched briefly across the horizon but left and indelible imprint.--Jacket flap

Download or read book They Were the Rough Riders written by Richard E. Killblane and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After just four weeks of training, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders--a regiment of cowboys recruited into the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry--fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American War with the skill of seasoned regulars. The unit reflected the future president's character as a wealthy Ivy Leaguer who went west to experience frontier life. Most of the Rough Riders were seasoned cowhands from the Southwest, but Ivy League athletes, sons of millionaires and lawmen filled out the ranks. Roosevelt molded this diverse group into a cohesive, efficient fighting force and led them to victory on San Juan Hill. Told from the perspective of the men in the regiment, this book traces the history of the Rough Riders from conception to disbanding, and Roosevelt's transformation into an American hero.

Jimmy Blackmon captures brilliantly the enthralling story of the air cavalry unit that was the eyes and ears of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) during the fight to Baghdad and throughout the first year in Iraq – when I was privileged to command the division. He captures vividly, as well, the courage, skill, and feel for the battlefield of the gifted pilot and commander of the squadron, Lieutenant Colonel Steve Schiller, to whom we turned repeatedly when the missions were the toughest.” —General David Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.) commanded the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Multinational Force-Iraq, US Central Command, and coalition and U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
