Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mounted Rifleman: A Method of Garrison Training and Field Instruction of Cavalry, Including Tests and Combat Exercises, as Used in the First Cavalry Brigade, U. S. Army The decisive power of cavalry lies in its mobility and its rifle. The main value of cavalry now, as in the past, lies in opposing Infantry. The term "Mounted Infantry" should be no longer one of reproach. On foot, the cavalry of today, man for man equal to infantry, can attack positions, with the same determination, the same resolution, as infantry. Cavalry that cannot fight on foot is worthless cavalry. But conversely, mounted infantry that cannot fight on horseback is worthless mounted infantry. Mounted infantrymen who are not horsemen and who cannot use the saber can be swept off the earth by good cavalry. They must be able to fight on horseback as well as cavalry. There is, then, no appreciable distinction between good mounted infantry and good cavalry. As a matter of fact, as regards their principal function, cavalry should be regarded as the mobile branch of the infantry. They use the same weapon, the rifle, which, often, their mobility enables them to use with great results. With this weapon in the American war of 1861-65, they were constantly and consistently employed to carry positions by assault, to stop divisions and armies of infantry. The rifle is the principal weapon of the cavalryman of today. He is the rifleman on horseback, who in a few seconds can convert himself into a rifleman on foot, equal man for man to the best infantry, ready, like infantry, without quailing, to receive the mounted charge of cavalry and repel it. It is seldom possible now for horsemen to charge unshaken infantry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several thousand Native Americans fought on both sides during the American Civil War (1861-1865). They came from various tribes in the Indian Territory of present-day eastern Oklahoma. They were organized into regiments of mounted riflemen - troops that could fight from the saddle or dismounted in the plains and rolling hills. Confederate Indians were organized into regiments by tribe, with Cherokees eventually raising three regiments, and the Unionists were organized into the Indian Brigade of three regiments. This book explores their lives from enlistment through to discharge and examines how they trained, lived and fought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book served with the Auckland Mounted Rifles which , with the Wellington and the Canterbury Mounted Rifles, a Machine-gun troop, a field troop of Engineers, a Signal Troop, a Mounted Field Ambulance and a mobile Veterinary section made up the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade. The approximate strength was 1,850 men and 2,200 horses. The brigade had fought at Gallipoli, where it had suffered severely, and following the evacuation had returned to Egypt to become part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. In April 1916 all the other NZ troops which had been in Egypt since the evacuation of Gallipoli left for France. The Mounted Rifles Brigade were then the only NZ troops remaining on this front though other units were added subsequently. The brigade was in the fighting from the start from the first major action, at Romani in August 1916, right through to the end. The three regiments suffered a total casualty figure of 219 officers and 3,035 other ranks of whom 1100 died. The aim of the author was to give an account of the campaign, not just the fighting, of which there was plenty, but also of the daily life, the surroundings in which they operated and the places of historical interest through which the men passed. There is quite clearly the feeling that the work of the brigade did not receive the recognition it deserved and the CO comments that there was little publicity back home, in fact there was a fairly common opinion that the Mounted troops were merely tourists. the NZ Division on the Western Front was what mattered. Moore has done a good job in redressing the balance and gives an impressive account of the very strenuous life of a Mounted Rifleman on active service and of the many hardships and difficulties encountered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mounted rifleman's war against the Turkish Army Several accounts of the famous Australian mounted infantry, the Lighthorsemen, are well known and highly regarded. Far fewer accounts exist concerning their counterparts from New Zealand, the Mounted Riflemen, who served during the same campaigns during the First World War. This account by Clutha Mackenzie, a trooper in the Wellington Mounted Rifles, notably follows 'Mac', its principal character, through the deployment of his regiment in Egypt to the landings and gruelling battles of the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign, conceived to force the narrow Dardanelles Straits to expedite the assault on the Turks in Istanbul. Mac fought in the trenches until the night battle at Chenak Bair, during which he was wounded and subsequently evacuated. This is an invaluable account of New Zealanders at war that gave birth to the legend and spirit of Anzac. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
