On the strength of endorsements by folks here I watched a good portion of Major Dundee several months ago. What impressed me the most was the cannons' recoil. I don't recall seeing that bit of accuracy in any other movies. Vietnam? That never occurred to me, but with movies I tend not to dig too dee...

Among the holiday programming offered by one of our local TV stations (KUEN) was a two hour collection of concerts given by the US Air Force Academy Band. Perhaps bands, plural, would be a better description of the concert. While I didn't catch the whole show, what I did hear was a C/W band, a moder...

Bob; Though I gather that accusations have been been made from time to time, I think it fair to say that 'group think' is carefully guarded against here, so any polite discussion relating to military horsemanship is appreciated, whether everyone agrees, as is seldom the case, or not. So soft pedalin...

Bob; Interesting comments about Morris, whom I confess I hold in high regard. No offense taken though. I'll have to re- read him again but I think you'll find that the crest release is a tool he recommends for emergencies and beginners only. I would guess that it grew out of his abhorrence for anyth...

Philip; I have to add my thanks as well. There were several titles in your bibliography I was not familiar with that I'll have to find. I was especially happy to learn of another tract by Chamberlin. There are also, as you may know, two other treatises by Lt de Sevy, published by the cavalry school:...
