CAVALRY.
During the years 1861 and 1862, such regiments of cavalry as had taken the field were distributed in detachments, to a great ex- tent, and served as scouting parties, mounted pickets, and head- quarter guard, and stirring up trouble for the infantry, or "dough boys " to settle. During the last years of the Rebellion this arm of the service attained greater efficiency and importance, and was or- ganized by brigades and divisions, and operated in large bodies. It did very valuable service after it had been trained to do its fighting on foot, and its getting there on horseback. When moving by brig- ades or divisions in concert with other troops, or on organized raids, it was often accompanied by one or more light batteries of artillery. Each cavalryman was armed with a saber, a revolver, and a short rifle called a carbine. He wore a short dark blue jacket, trimmed in yellow, light blue pants and high boots, and after continued service became as fearless in the presence of a henroost as in charging on Early's or Rosser's troopers.
