Civil War Cavalry
Still, out of the cities, and particularly among the farmers, the men and boys are all familiar with horses, and as much at home on their backs as any southerner* All the regiments of our cavalry brigade but one were country organizations, end the whole command had been well drilled in riding as well as in other matters before taking the field at all. The single city regiment, the 5th New York Cavalry, was singularly enough an exceptionally fine and effective cavalry regiment. Nor am I sure that all the troopers were city men.
