There the sports of country Hfe appealed in preference, and the rifleand saddle were more familiar than the countina-house. Thus the Confederate cavalrymen saw nothing^Tong in the proposition that they should furnish their own mounts throughout the war. The name ofthe beautiful horse in this photograph was Secesh. Its upraised ears and alert expression of interest inthe man who is waving his hat in the foreground, to make it look at the camera, proves it a well-bredanimal. Secesh was captured by the Federals in 1862 at YorktowTi, and the spot where the photographwas taken is historic. It is the cave excavated in the marl blufp by Cornwallis in 1781, for secret councils.
