  • Reproduction of the Early Medieval Knight's Saddle
    Reproduction of the Early Medieval Knight’s Saddle by Sir Armand de Sevigny [The following is a re-writing of an article done some ten years ago by Sir Armand for the Caid Leathercrafters Guild’s newsletter Tanned Hydes. Although the errors in the printed portions of that article have been removed, Sir Armand apologizes for the elemental nature of his drawings included therein.] The saddle of the medieval knight was essential to his effectiveness as a heavy cavalryman. By the end of the Eleventh Century the saddle had evolved into the basic form it was to maintain for the next four hundred years. The front piece, the pommel, was high and broad, as was the back of the seat, the cantle. Typically the cantle was curved forward to cradle the knight’s hips. A reproduction of a typical early medieval saddle [1050-1350 AD] can be made by anyone with rudimentary leather and woodworking skills and a degree of patience and imagination. The place to start is with the saddle’s foundation, the saddle “tree”. The tree is basically two shaped wooden “planks” that straddle the horse’s rib cage on either side of the backbone. These planks are secured by the wooden “pommel” and “cantle” fore and aft respectively. Because construction of a well- fitting saddle tree is beyond the artistic capacities of most of us, and because the proper shape and fitting of the tree is absolutely essential to the comfort of the horse, I would recommend against producing your own tree unless you are an expert with horses, saddles, and carpentry to begin with.

  • Doug Calton's Mcclellan Saddle by John K. Haws
    Doug Calton’s McClellan Saddle By John K. Haws Jr. When Doug Calton was a boy living in Cedar Fort, he enjoyed all the outdoor activities that a life in Cedar Fort provided. The open fields provided all kinds of adventures. It was the period after World War I but before World War II that Doug grew up in Cedar Fort. Doug loved life to the fulles. One of his best friends who loved the out­of­doors as much as he did was my mother. Shirley Smith (Haws) was best buds with Doug. He reported that she was the only person that could whip him. She would often ride horses behind him. They had great fun growing up and they were always in trouble. One of the problems of riding horses was that he didn’t have a saddle. His father Kelsey Calton either wanted to provide him one or was tired of him using his, purchased either through trade or money this used saddle. The saddle was from a Lehi World War I veteran who had used the saddle in the war. Doug does not know the name of the veteran, but he was thrilled with the saddle. The McClellan saddles were first designed for the Civil War. It was limited because most soldiers had to provide their own saddles. In 1863, the Confederate army issued the lighter and better­contoured McClellan saddle to its cavalry. Because leather was scarce in the South during the Civil War, many of the McClellan saddles had skirts of painted canvas. The saddle Doug’s father purchased was to the best of our research is a 1904 McClellan Saddle.

Cool artesian springs bubble up from deep underground and ceaseless wind sculpts sand into ever-changing dunes. Above it all stretches a sky so big you can almost reach out and touch it. This is the legendary Wild West of classic books and movies, and the real-life landscape of the Texas Pecos Trail Region. The region’s 22 West Texas counties cover almost 35,000 square miles, an area larger than a dozen average-sized U.S. states. This big land comprises an ecological transition zone at the junction of the high and rolling plains in the north, Edwards Plateau in the east, mountain basins and Chihuahuan Desert in the west and brush country in the south. For centuries, scattered Native American groups hunted buffalo and other game across the immense UTSA’s InstituteUTSA’s Cultures, of Texan #068-0154 grassland prairies. These same groups also used plant Comanche warrior resources and created large plant processing and baking features on the landscape.

EDITOR SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given sub­ stantive review.

Yes, history is an account of things said and done in the past. Each of us has a history. People are fascinated with the past, whether it is their own family history, the history of their community, the Civil War, Lewis and Clark, or the 1877 war and flight of the Nez Perce. As our society grows more urban- suburan and complex, people long for unique an authentic opportunities to experience the natural and cultural heritage of McFarland McFarland special places. The NPNHT and Auto Tour Route has premier - sites, settings, and experiences to offer. Yes, despite our successes with public programs, we still are not meeting the demand for quality heritage learning and tourism opportunities. At the same time we need to assure that decisions about public visitation do not compromise site integrity. One of our purposes is working with people and communities to identify opportunities to help them and Broncheau of Sandra Courtesy Photo get them involved. History serves us in many ways. It can inspire L-R: Sandra Broncheau-McFarland and us with stories or caution us with tales of human wrongdoing.

CONGDON, MAJOR, TWELFTH PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY. PHILADELPHIA; J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. 1864 2 This page intentionally left blank. 3 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1864, by J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 4 PREFACE. The design of this book is to furnish enlisted men in the cavalry service with all the information necessary to enable them to under- stand their duties; also, to show them their rights, privileges, and allowances and to point out the relations that exist between them, the Government, the superiors appointed over them, and each other. A large portion of the information contained in this work is spread through a great number of expensive books, that soldiers would find it difficult to procure, and impossible to carry in the field. Much of the instruction here contained, although observed for many years in the regular cavalry, has never before appeared in print. As it is almost impossible for officers, during active operation in the field, to instruct non-commissioned officers and privates in their duties, it is hoped they will find this book a valuable assis- tant.

  • PMC Cadet Handbook 18-19 P.47-88
    HORSE CARE AND ANATOMY GROOMING 1. GENERAL Good grooming is essential to the general health, condition, and appearance of the animals that are stabled, exercised, or worked. It cleans the hair and pores of the skin. This results in cleaner and healthier skin which is less likely to become infested with parasites such as lice and mange mites. Good, vigorous grooming massages the underlying body muscles, and thus improves the horse’s condition and fitness. In the field as well as in garrison, the press of other service demands or the discomfort of trying weather conditions is never a valid excuse for failing to groom thoroughly at least once a day regardless of their duty status. The value of grooming depends upon the thoroughness and speed with which it is done. Leaders should encourage cadets to work hard and rapidly and do a thorough job in the minimum time required. Each individual’s grooming should be inspected as soon as possible. Proper supervision of grooming is always essential, yet efficient grooming is possible only when the individual cadet can be taught to take personal pride in the appearance of his mount or mule team. 2. TIME OF GROOMING Before any horse or mule leaves the stables for work or exercise, grooming must occur. After a quick inspection for cuts or injuries sustained in the stall, the cadet picks the horse’s feet. Once that is complete, the coat is brushed; mane is brushed and neatly arranged; tail is brushed; and eyes, nostrils, and dock are wiped clean. On the return from work or exercise, grooming should proceed immediately.
