The poster's text quotes a line from "Jine the Cavalry," a marching song linked to Confederate cavalry commander J.E.B. Stuart, and pairs it with an invitation to join the U.S. Army's mounted service. Printed by the Government Printing Office and dated to about 1920, it is a color halftone reproduction, a cheap process that let the Army distribute recruiting posters widely. Its appeal rests on camaraderie and the romance of horses and open country, even as the cavalry's role in warfare was shrinking. The poster reflects recruiting efforts from the World War I era, when the Army still promoted the mounted arm as a path to adventure.
