CONFEDERATE SADDLES & HORSE
EQUIPMENT, by Ken Knopp:
Recognized as “the” reference for the student and
collector of the saddles and horse equipment produced
and used by the Army of the Confederacy, this was the
first in what became a series of excellent references
covering various aspects of American saddlery researched
and written by Ken Knopp. In the interest of full
disclosure, through the years Ken has become a friend
and trusted associate who I have always been able to
turn to on questions regarding our common interests. I
have found his efforts to plumb the depths of the
scattered and often obscure archives of the Confederacy
to be tireless, and have admired his ability to glean
from those records that do exist, the amazing story of
the cash strapped south’s ability equip their mounted
soldiers.
This 193 page volume is
well illustrated with clear, detailed photographs,
diagrams from the government records, and quite a few
period photographs showing the Confederate horse
equipment in use during the war.
This ex-libris copy that is
in excellent “like new” condition, inscribed by the
author, with the dust cover intact and showing no signs
of use or wear.
