DEIBERT, Ralph C.

A History of the Third United States Cavalry 1846-1933

[Harrisburg: Telegraph Press, ca 1933]. First Edition. Octavo. Original green cloth, titled in gilt on spine and front cover; x,[1]-143pp; color frontispiece; photographic text illustrations (halftone portraits). Trace of wear to cloth board edges and base of spine; occasional faint thumb-soil to text; still a straight, tight, Very Good or better copy.

A rare and sought-after regimental history, privately published, presumably for private distribution to members of the regiment. The 3rd Cavalry is closely associated with Anglo-American expansion and settling of the Western frontier, a period covered in considerable detail here, as are the regiment's actions in the Spanish-American War and the First World War. The second, biographical portion of the book is extensively illustrated with photographic portraits and views. Rarely seen in commerce, especially in nice condition.

Price: $650.00
