Useful Introduction,
By El Cutachero (MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: US Dragoons 1833-55 (Men-At-Arms Series, 281) (Paperback)
Dragoons were introduced into the US Army for the purpose of patrolling the overland routes to Oregon and later to California. They were the first mounted troops to be raised in many years. Their lineage can be traced to today's cavalry units. All of the work done by this author has proven to be well worth having, provided you have an interest. He has spent many years gathering and interpreting his information. One of his specialties is combing various works for narrative commentary. He is especially known for ferreting out contemporaneous images of the clothing and equipment in use.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Uncle Sam Wants You For The US Dragoons,
By Robert E. Lee "museum tech" (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: US Dragoons 1833-55 (Men-At-Arms Series, 281) (Paperback)
I would recommend this little jewel to anyone, but especially to someone who has no previous knowledge on the subject. The Smithsonian photo of the folding forage cap is worth the price by itself. A great little concise overview. I only wish they had included a photo of Hall's Breechloading Carbine.
