3rd Cаlvаry Regiment #16051979
Description
The Cavalry Regiment was first organized in 1846 as an elite Mounted Riflemen Regiment that combined the mobility of the cavalry horse with the shock of heavy infantry and the long-range effective firepower of the new rifled musket. The Mounted Rifles were formed to safeguard settlers on the frontier, but the outbreak of the Mexican War necessitated their deployment to Mexico that year. The Regiment distinguished itself throughout the Mexican War from its first battle at Ver to the storming of Chapultepec Fortress in Mexico City, earning it the title, "Brave Rifles." Don Prechtel's painting, Brave Rifles-Veterans, commemorates their baptism of fire in Mexico.
