Figure 11: Shown early in the war, Federal soldiers pose with their horses at the Confederate winter quarters shortly after it's capture.


Figure 12: These photos show an artillery officer's horse on the left and a quartermaster's horse on the right. Nothing further about these horses is identified.



Figure 13: Horses at the Geisboro Remount Depot that belong to the Provost Marshall


Figure 14: The camp of the First Massachusetts Cavalry. Unfortunately, the trees obscure many of the horses seen in this view.


Figure 15: A horrific view of the casualties from one battle. While the mounds of dead horses seem staggering, many more mounts were lost to starvation, exhaustion, and disease than to actual wounds from battle..


Figure 16: A picketed horse stands ready at the evening bivouac.


Figure 17: Troopers and horse from the Tenth New York Cavalry.


Figure 18: A rare photo of lancers in the Federal Cavalry taken shortly before Gettysburg.
