25th Infantry Bicycle Corps at Yellowstone National Park, 1896-
Note:
"In the 1890s various National Guard regiments experimented with bicycles – in part because of the costs associated with caring for and feeding horses. This was also a time when many soldiers now were coming from cities rather than the countryside and didn’t know how to ride a horse. Learning to ride a bicycle instead probably seemed like a good solution." [news.clearancejobs.com] Learn More
