In March 1777, Washington established the Corps of Continental Light Dragoons consisting of four regiments of six troops and 280 men each. Many problems faced the light dragoon regiments, including the inability of recruiting to bring the units to authorized strength, shortage of suitable cavalry weapons and horses, and lack of uniformity among troopers in dress and discipline. Congress appointed the Polish revolutionary and professional soldier Count Casimir Pulaski to train them as an offensive strike force during winter quarters of 1777�78 at Trenton, New Jersey.Original file name 45 Discussing Plans For Day.jpg4368x2912Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
