Sixth Cavalry training horses at Ft. Bayard, N. M., ca. 1885.

My first thought was that the new action Army would never let a range instructor get downrange of the rifle .... LOL

One of my favorite John Wayne movies is 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon' ... not in a small part because there were a lot of old ex-Calvalry working as extras in Hollywood at the time  ... who could actually pass in review and turn into a column of twos the way it was supposed to be done.

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...
