This early works was originally published in 1900. PREFACE: During the last two and a half years, I have seen so many new and interesting phases of horse and military life in Russia, that I though an account of them would interest general readers, as well as those who are acquainted with my more or less technical books on matters connected with horses. As I am the first foreigner who has been permitted to visit the Remount Depots of the Russian Cavalry Reserve, I venture to hope that my experiences are worth telling... Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
