Légende

The Spanish-American War: 10th Dragoons, Coloured Regiment of the United States Regular Army..., 1898. '...now despatched to serve in Cuba on the landing of troops - skirmishing as practiced in Indian warfare. The American experiment of forming cavalry regiments whose rank and file are exclusively made up of coloured men has proved a successful one. The 10th Dragoons, for instance, have rendered very valuable service in the South-Western territories. Arizona with its crushing hot and dry climate was always the bogey of the Regulars, and the incessant warfare against the roving and treacherous Apache Indians was a most trying one for the white trooper. The coloured troops took to it at once, and came out wonderfully well. It is expected that they will be of great service in Cuba, on account of their power of resistance to malarial fevers.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
