Fitzhugh Lee, and on the Northern side, Sheridan and Pleasonton. For a long time after our Civil War, except as to its political or commercial bearing, that conflict attracted but little attention abroad. A great German strategist was reported to have said that the war between the States was largely an affair of armed mobs --a report, by the way, unverified, but which doubtless had its effect upon military students. In the meantime other wars came to pass in succession — Austro-Prussian (1866), Franco-German (1870), Russo-Turkish (1877), and later the Boer War and that between Russia and Japan. The American cavalryman--1864 The type of American cavalryman developed by the conditions during the war fought equally well on foot and on horseback. In fact, he found during the latter part of the war that his horse was chiefly useful in carrying him expeditiously from one part of the battlefield to the other. Except when a mounted charge was ordered, the horses were far too valua

General Philip Sheridan with General Sheridan in Lee's last campaign. By a staff officer. （Philadelphia) J. B. Lippincott & Co., 1866. The general is short in stature — below the medium — with nothing superfluous about him, square shouldered, muscular, wiry to the last degree, and as nearly insensible to hardship and fatigue as is consistent with humanity. His face is very much tanned by exposure, but is lighted up by uncommonly keen eyes, which would stamp him anywhere as a man of quickness and force, while its whole character would betray him to be a soldier, with its firm chin, high cheek bones, and crisp mustache.<

ral Jeb Stuart from Stephen Dandridge and presented to Lee, served for two years in alternation with Traveller, but in the fall of 1864 became unserviceable and was sent into the country to recuperate. Lucy long, second to Traveller in Lee's affections, was recalled from the country just before the evacuation of Richmond; but during the confusion she was placed with the public horses and sent to Danville, and Lee lost all trace of his war-horse. A thorough search was made, and finally, in 1866, she was discovered and brought to Lexington to pass her days in leisure with General Lee and Traveller. After a number of years the mare became feeble and seemed to lose interest in life, and when Lucy long reached about thirty-three years of age a son of General Lee mercifully chloroformed the veteran war-horse of the Army of Northern Virginia. Richmond, Ajax, and Brown roan each in turn proved unequal to the rigors of war. General Rufus Ingalls' charger Like General Grant's Cincinna
