Cavalry
The civil war has ended and guerillas are looting and burning and planning on starting a revolution of their own out west. It's up to Captain Ted Thorn to stop them, so the nation can heal of its wounds. INTERESTING NOTE - This film was released in 1936 this was 71 years after the war had ended. There were still thousands of civil war veterans alive some sources say over 12,000. The last undisputed civil war veteran dies in 1951 at the age of 106. There is some great action in this classic western. An interesting side note is that Bob Steele was born Robert Adrian Bradbury Jr. born in Portland, Oregon, into a vaudeville family. His parents were Robert North Bradbury and the former Nieta Quinn. He had a twin brother, Bill, also an actor. After years of touring, the family settled in Hollywood in the late 1910s, where his father soon found work in the movies, first as an actor, later as a director.
