About this Item
We Remember. Ed Daily. Paducah, KY: Turner Publishing Company, 1996. First Edition, Limited Edition (as stated), hardcover, no dust jacket as issued. ISBN 1-56311-318-X. 148 pp. Illustrated throughout with historical photographs. A particularly compelling association copy of this visually rich history of the United States Cavalry, authored by Ed Daily for the U.S. Cavalry Association. This copy is warmly inscribed on the front free endpaper to a named recipient, with a long, personalized message in the author's distinctive hand. Even more unusually, laid in is a signed letter from Daily (on First Cavalry Division letterhead, dated 5/13/1999), discussing a recent convention, the book's development, and his intention to present this very copy to the recipient. Together, the inscription and standalone letter provide a strong example of the book's provenance chain - an uncommon pairing that elevates this copy well above standard examples. This is an author presentation copy inscribed to Sandee Daugherty, a staff member in the Land Warfare Directorate of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA), reflecting a professional relationship within the U.S. Army's historical and educational community. The book itself is part of Turner's Limited-Edition printing, as stated on the copyright page. Lavishly illustrated and produced on coated stock, it features striking full-page photographic endpapers (horse-mounted soldiers in motion) that underscore the Cavalry Association's commitment to visual history. Contents include a broad historical survey, from early American cavalry traditions through twentieth-century mechanization, including unit profiles, insignia, biographical sketches, and modern operations. Condition. Book: Fine. Exceptionally clean and crisp, with bright laminated boards showing only a trace of handling. Interior fresh, no writing beyond the author's inscription. Binding tight. No dust jacket as issued. Includes the original laid-in signed letter from the author, well-preserved. This letter is now protected in a clear mylar sleeve. A standout copy for collectors of U.S. military history, cavalry scholarship, or association-signed material. Edition/Printing Note. No further printing sequence is provided, consistent with Turner Publishing's format; this represents the First Edition of the work. Ed Daily (Edward Daily, USA Ret.) was a U.S. Army noncommissioned officer and military historian known for his longtime involvement with the U.S. Cavalry Association and for his work documenting the traditions, evolution, and service of American cavalry units. Daily contributed historical articles, photography, and research to cavalry publications throughout the 1980s and 1990s and became recognized within the Association for preserving and promoting cavalry heritage. His book, We Remember, reflects both his deep archival knowledge and his personal commitment to honoring the soldiers, horsemen, and modern armored cavalrymen who shaped U.S. military history.
