“Statement of the Cost of certain Garments, &c. composing a Suit of
Dragoon Clothing, calculated at the present prices of the materials”
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.
Single sheet. 8”x6.5”. Minor wear. $275
