On the Southern Plains in 1860
Storyline
Reproduction of painting with this commentary: "On the Southern Plains in 1860" by Frederick Remington was such a good portrayal of the old United States Cavalry in action that it now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Their arms were an "Army Colt" and a saber.
