Descriptionof Union Cavalry Corporal Mounted on Trotting Horse, No.1
Manufacturer

A wide variety of weaponry was carried by mounted forces during the Civil War including sabres, pistols, carbines, and rifles. Generally Northern cavalry were better equipped than their Southern counterparts. By 1863 every Union trooper was guaranteed a carbine in addition to his revolvers and saber. Carbines were shorter in overall length, less cumbersome to carry mounted or dismounted, and easier to operate from horseback. However, their accuracy was greatly diminished compared to that of other long guns. Most carbines were .52 or .56 caliber single-shot breech loading weapons and were manufactured by several different companies, with the most common types being the Burnside or Smith carbine, or the Sharps rifle. Late in 1863, the seven-shot Spencer repeating carbine was introduced, but it was rarely deployed. This Union cavalry corporal carries a New Model 1863 Sharps Carbine. These .52 caliber Sharps carbines were one of the most popular weapons issued to Federal mounted troops and were produced from 1863 to 1865.
