From swamp heat to high desert, the Second Dragoons ride across the formative battlegrounds of the United States. Orders. Reports. Lives in motion. Theophilus F. Rodenbough gathers an authentic military memoir narrative of duty and endurance, following the Second United States Cavalry from the Florida frontier 1830s through Mexico, Virginia, and the Indian Country. It includes personal recollections of prominent officers, giving the human grain behind manoeuvres and muster rolls, and lending immediacy to a sweep of nearly forty years, 1836 to 1875 overall. Part regimental history chronicle, part mexican american war memoir, this volume reads like a field officer's kit: practical, unsentimental, and rich with detail. Rodenbough's account of seminole war florida campaigns, later service on the frontier, and the pressures of divided loyalties makes it a valued civil war cavalry reference as well as a window into the hard routines of us cavalry frontier service. An extensive appendix turns the book into a primary source collection, with orders, reports, correspondence, and other documentation that functions as a dependable military records reference for researchers, reenactors, and serious enthusiasts. Historically, it preserves the working memory of a famed regiment and the men who shaped dragoon cavalry history, bridging early mounted warfare with the era of the great plains indian wars. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure, equally at home in a personal library or a classic-military collection.
