Black Horse Press is finalizing the research and completing the book started by
Lynn Hopewell about this famous cavalry company.
In order to meet production deadlines, Black Horse Press is no longer
taking new genealogical information for the Register. Biographical
narratives will be considered. Photographs of the
cavalrymen are welcome.
