Twenty eight years ago when ! was
in Germany studying art, said New
York artist. Il had a friend who was Il
sublieutenant in the army. Like most
German officers he was an enthusiast
tic sOldler-miIitariSts We call them
noW-and one day he brought a book
to me to read because II was, he said,
an authority with all German officers
in tactical matters and was really part
of their military education.
Il was not especially interested, not
being much Of d soldier, but when |
saw the book my interest very ma
terially increased, for it was copy of
'Drei Jahre I'm Sattel,' by Heros Won
Borke, the representative of Germany
with Gen. Jeb Stuart's cavalry in our
Civil war, the English title being
Three Years in the Saddle Won
Borke had not only been with the Con
federate general for three years, but
he was in the thick of it and had
written a sto:y that was intensely in
teresting for its daring adventure and
was of such technical and tactical
value as to warrant the unusual posi-
ton accorded it by German military
authorities.
The fact that | was a Yankee did
not lessen my pride the least in Gen
eral Stuart's work, for we were all
good Americans by that time and
was proud to know that we were
teaching Germany one style OF fight
ing anyhow. The book was in Ger
