Description

Cavalry played a crucial role in the Civil War, acting as the eyes and ears of the army. They were used for scouting, raiding, and screening movements. While often romanticized, cavalry charges were often less effective than dismounted actions due to advancements in weaponry.

Confederate cavalry, led by flamboyant figures like J.E.B. Stuart, initially outperformed their Union counterparts. However, the Union cavalry eventually adapted and improved, with leaders like Philip Sheridan achieving significant victories. Cavalry tactics evolved throughout the war, with emphasis shifting from massed charges to more flexible and dismounted operations.

*PLEASE READ: Because leather is a natural product there can be natural “imperfections” in each piece such as marks, lines, scratches, holes, different fiber thicknesses and darker spots. These “blemishes” add to the character and handmade quality of each piece. Real leather is an amazing natural product that breathes. It is both flexible, strong and durable, and when products made from leather are properly cared for, they should last for a long time.
