The USBS-17 - Union Cavalry captures the determination and professionalism of a mounted Union trooper during the closing years of the American Civil War, when Federal cavalry had become one of the Union Army's greatest battlefield strengths.
By 1864, Union cavalry units had evolved into highly trained and battle-hardened formations. No longer limited to scouting and courier duties, they conducted deep raids, screened advancing armies, protected vital supply lines and launched powerful mounted attacks against Confederate forces. Their speed and flexibility made them indispensable during General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign and General Philip Sheridan's aggressive cavalry operations in Virginia.
Equipped with sabres, revolvers and breech-loading carbines, Union cavalrymen could rapidly transition between mounted charges and dismounted firefights, adapting to changing battlefield conditions. Their growing effectiveness helped shift the balance of power during the final campaigns of the war, culminating in the pursuit of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia before its surrender at Appomattox Court House in April 1865.
This striking mounted figure captures the energy and confidence of a cavalryman ready for action. The authentic uniform, detailed equipment and spirited horse create a display piece that conveys the speed, mobility and courage for which Union cavalry became renowned.
Whether showcased as a standalone figure or incorporated into a larger Civil War cavalry scene, USBS-17 - Union Cavalry is an outstanding addition for collectors of American Civil War history, mounted military miniatures and iconic 19th-century campaigns.
