Text Appearing Before Image: ' Text Appearing After Image: A WELL-EQUIPPED HOUSE OF THE FIRST MASSACHUSETTS CAVALRY—1864 The saddle-bags and hooded stirrup of Captain E. A. Flints horse shown in this photograph are regulation, but the outfit of aregular cavalry horse did not call for a breast-strap. It was more apt to be used among the volunteers. The regulars as a rule pre-ferred a single rein, curb bit, and no breast-strap or martingale. No breast-straps were issued, but they were found useful when cav-alry was pounding up a slope, leaping fences, walls, and ditches, and otherwise putting unusual strain on the belly-band. The hoodedstirrup was useful both to keep out rain and to keep the foot warm in winter. The saddle and blanket equipment in the photographalso conform to regulations. This is one of the horses and men that charged Stuarts cavalry so fiercely on the night of the third dayat Gettysburg. The First Massachusetts was in the second division, under General David McM. Gregg. The photograph wastaken in November. 1864, at the head Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
