[Rarebooks] FS: 1800 Cost of U.S. Army Dragoon's Uniform

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Statement of the Cost of certain Garments, &c. composing a Suit of 
Dragoon Clothing, calculated at the present prices of the materials”

DISCUSSION: A very interesting ephemeral item listing, in two columns, 
all the clothing and accessories needed to completely outfit a dragoon, 
with costs, including cap, coat, vest, overalls, frocks, trousers, 
gaithers, shirt, musician’s coat, stockings, socks, shoes, boots, 
blanket, stock and clasp, cockade and eagle, feather, and cloak. At the 
bottom it notes: “For the price of a Sergeant’s Clothes, add 10 per 
cent. To that of Privates- that is, for the Coats, Vests, overall and 
Shirts; the other garments being the same quality with those of the 
Privates”.

Although not dated, this sheet is very, very similar to a sheet of the 
costs of Infantry Clothing in the Ann S.K. Brown Collection at the John 
Hay Library, dated by the Library as 1800. Dragoons, mounted infantry, 
were used in the United States armed forces from 1776 to 1861.

DESCRIPTION: Single sheet. 8”x6.5”.

CONDITION NOTES: Minor wear.

PRICE: $400 -
