Some believe that this image is idealized because the cavalry consisted largely of farmers and city dwellers who had little experience riding fast horses. One Union soldier wrote in October 1863, \u201cWe have considerable cavalry with us but they are the laughing stock of the army and the boys poke all kinds of fun at them. I really have as yet to see or hear of their doing anything of much credit. \u201cThe editorial in Harper\u2019s Weekly that accompanied this image proclaimed, \u201cThe army is in such splendid condition . . . [and] it is so thoroughly impressed with belief in its own success, that officers, men, and newspaper writers all predict a triumph.\u201dObject metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
