[Rarebooks] FS: 1800 Military Form: American Dragoon Uniform & Accoutrements Price List

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

“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.  $250
