Mais bon, m'en fous.
Je suis en train de faire mes valises, me demandant si je dois tenter un dernier message explicatif sur "The Revenant", si cela en vaut la peine, puisqu'au salon, il y a la pendule qui dit oui, qui dit non, qui dit je t'attends ...
Pas la peine de faire tes valises , ni d 'attendre la pendule qui dit oui dit non , vous êtes très bien l 'un et l autre chacun dans sa catégorie , perso je me régale bien et même je vous soupçonne d 'être sensible qui chez moi n 'est pas un signe de faiblesse , en plus je me marre bien avec vous , santé

PS, Laissez tranquille ce " Revenant " il va finir par " Hanté" la maison

"La perception que nous avons des "tuniques bleues" et de son "look" est celle véhiculée par les westerns hollywoodiens. Cette image est souvent erronée, différente de la réalité historique. "The U.S Army in the West, 1870-1880 : Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment" est un livre précis et grandement illustré (nombreuses photos en noir & blanc) retraçant d'une façon très détaillée et complète l'uniforme, l'armement et l'équipement portés par les soldats de l'armée américaine au plus fort des guerres indiennes. C'est une mine d'informations qui en fait un ouvrage indispensable pour tous ceux, historiens, peintres, dessinateurs de BD, cinéastes, figurinistes, uniformologues, passionnés d'armes anciennes... qui s'intéressent au Far-West et à ses "tuniques bleues". Sans aucun doute,"The U.S Army in the West" trouvera une place de choix dans votre bibliothèque et complétera "Army Blue : the Uniform of Uncle Sam's Regulars 1848-1873" et sa suite "More Army Blue : the Uniform of Uncle Sam's Regulars 1874-1887", les magnifiques ouvrages de J.P. Langellier consacrés exclusivement aux uniformes, et "The Horse Soldier - the United States Cavalryman : His Uniforms, Arms, Accoutrements, and Equipments, Volume 2, 1851-1880",une référence également, de R. Steffen qui traite seulement de la cavalerie."

Re: La Cavalerie américaine ou l'US CAVALRY (les "Tuniques Bleues")
The United States Cavalry - An Illustrated History Paperback – 1985
by Gregory J. W. Urwin

By Acute Observer on January 2, 2014
Format: Hardcover
The United States Cavalry, Gregory Urwin
From 1833 to 1917 the Cavalry was a vital part of the US Army and important to victories (‘Preface’). Many famous commanders were from the Cavalry. Colonel Richard M. Johnson was later elected Vice-President with Millard Fillmore. This book is a concise history. There are many illustrations in this 192 page book, with a ‘Contents’, ‘Bibliography’, and ‘Index’.
1) 1776-1783. The Continental Light Dragoons began when an independent militia company volunteered for scouting and patrol. Mounted soldiers could travel faster, and were feared by foot soldiers. Washington organized cavalry regiments, but horses were hard to procure.
2) 1784-1815. The Continental Army was disbanded in 1784 (while British garrisons remained in the Northwest Territory). The US raised an army to attack the Indians there. After the Treaty of Greenville the size of the Army was reduced. The “XYZ Affair” led to an increase. The Battle of Tippecanoe led US Rangers to patrol the frontier, then to an increased US Army. Indian warfare was one of the causes of the War of 1812. In 1815 Congress abolished the cavalry as too expensive.
3) 1832-1836. Congress established a regular regiment of dragoons in 1833 since infantrymen were not equal to a mounted enemy. They escorted wagon trains along the Santa Fe Trail (where manufactured articles were sold for gold and silver). Colonel Henry Dodge negotiated peace treaties with the Indians. They also kept “white undesirables” out of Indian Territory.
4) 1836-1848. The Seminole War was a guerilla war, the Army could not win until they destroyed Indian villages, property, and food. They patrolled the Indian settlements on the prairies. The Mexican War saw fighting in Texas, the New Mexico Territory, California, and Mexico. Victory resulted in the US reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
5) 1848-1861. The increase in size and population led to 22 separate Indian Wars without increased soldiers. Large frontiers needed cavalry to travel long distances. They patrolled against marauding Indians. Increased immigration led to 60% of soldiers being foreign born. The Cavalry kept the peace in the Kansas conflicts.
6) 1861-1865. The divisive issue of slavery exploded after the election of Abraham Lincoln. Most of the Army was stationed on the frontier. More American died in the Civil War than the total lost from the Revolution to Korea. The Cavalry used revolvers and repeating carbines. The availability of horses limited the size of the troops. Cavalry could capture a strategic position and hold off the enemy until infantry support arrived.
7) 1865-1890. The US Army was expanded after the war, then trimmed back. A high percentage were foreign born. Harsh conditions led to many desertions. Indians used the hit-and-run tactics of guerilla warfare. The need for supplies tied the Cavalry to their supply trains, except for pack mules. There is a summary about Custer’s last years (pp.153-159).
8) 1890-1918. The end of the Indian Wars was followed by Imperialist adventures in Cuba and the War with Spain. The defeat of Spain was followed by the Filipino revolt for independence. The revolution in Mexico led to a Punitive Expedition against the Villistas. A war seemed near (p.178). This was the last major use of cavalry. Cavalry units were converted field artillery.
9) 1918-1944. Budget cuts led to a smaller army. The cavalry’s only action was against the Bonus Marchers in Washington DC. Mechanization increased, armored cars and light tanks replaced horses beginning in 1931. Horses took up too much room on transports. Today mobility is accomplished by helicopters and tanks.

Re: La Cavalerie américaine ou l'US CAVALRY (les "Tuniques Bleues")
Dans un épisode de "Nord et Sud", une super scène, la séparation des Yankees et des Rebs dans un fort du Far West ...un cavalier bleu dit à son officier qu'il regrette de l'avoir sauvé au cours d'une attaque des Comanches puisque celui-ci choisit le camp Confédéré.
Pas moyen d'illustter mon propos , j e trouve pas d'image de cette scène.
