EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cavalier: The young soldier and his horse on duty at Camp Cheyenne, 1890," captures the essence of the American frontier during the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer John C.H. Grabill, this image depicts a young soldier in full uniform, complete with rifle and gun in holster, mounted on his horse. The soldier's direct gaze and attentive posture convey a sense of readiness and determination. The setting of the photograph is the army camp at Cheyenne, located in Meade County, South Dakota, United States. The year was 1890, a time of heightened tension in the American West due to the Ghost Dance War. The soldier's presence on horseback, with the elm tree in the background, speaks to the meeting of the frontier and the military, as the army worked to maintain order and protect settlers from potential threats. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the daily life and responsibilities of soldiers during this era. The horse, an essential part of their equipment, is shown in great detail, with stirrups and saddle clearly visible. The soldier's rifle, a symbol of his readiness for action, is slung over his shoulder. The image is a testament to the courage and dedication of the men and animals who played a crucial role in shaping the history of the United States during this period." This photograph is part of the rich heritage of American history and is an important addition to any collection focused on the 19th century, military history, or the American West. It is a still image that tells a story of a moment in time, frozen in history. This photograph is not to be used for commercial purposes and can be found in the Library of Congress collection.
