Army and Navy Intelligence.-… The new recruiting establishment in Louisville, Ky., has proved useful thus far. It was opened as an experiment to test the military aspirations of Kentuckians, in March last, since which time 150 stalwart mountain boys have been sent to Carlisle to be made “horse soldiers.” They are described as a healthy, strong, and vigorous lot of men- at trifle too spunky"]

Is this 'Carlisle' the same place they sent Native American boys to be educated and programmed a few years after the war?
