However, the dramatic heroics of They Came To Cordura give way to the mock heroics of the cadre of "cavalrymen" who people the Tin Lizzie Troop. It's a fun story, suspenseful to the end, yet not in the least implausible The Tin Lizzie Troop is lighthearted summer fare -- a pleasure to read.

It was also the first war in which the U. Cavalry went into action not on fine, sleek horseflesh, but in Model T Fords Swarthout's new novel is the kind of story which may well make it to the screen. Cavalry and a Victorian love story combine to make a novel that is both amusing and sentimental without being syrupy Many of Swarthout's novels have been made into movies and in this one, where the commander's statuesque girlfriend is kidnapped by bandits and a town burned, there seem to be the makings of a motion picture Swarthout uses enough facts and cavalry lore to put together a story that could have happened.
The border war was supposed to have been a gentlemen's war, the last one.
