(1924) Medal Texas Cavalry Bronze

Coin Details

Description

This bronze medal honors the Texas Cavalry, produced circa 1924. Texas has a long and storied cavalry tradition stretching from the Texas Rangers of the Republic era through the mounted units that served in the Mexican-American War, the Civil War on both sides, the Indian Wars on the western frontier, and the border campaigns of the early twentieth century. The 1924 date places this medal in the interwar period when veterans' organizations and historical societies actively promoted the commemoration of military service through medals, monuments, and memorial publications. Texas cavalry units served with distinction in the Spanish-American War and World War I, and the 1920s saw a flourishing of commemorative activity as surviving veterans aged and communities sought to preserve their military heritage. The bronze composition was standard for military commemorative medals of this period, providing durability and an appropriate martial aesthetic.
