In the annals of the American Revolution, there is a regiment whose story has gone largely untold—a band of extraordinary men whose bravery, determination, and sacrifices helped shape the outcome of the war and secure the birth of the United States.

The Birth of an Elite Force

In the early days of the conflict, as the Continental Army struggled to hold its ground against the superior British forces, General George Washington recognized the urgent need for a specialized fighting force—a regiment that could conduct daring raids, harass the enemy supply lines, and sow confusion within their ranks.

From this need emerged the 1st Continental Light Dragoons, a regiment of mounted riflemen handpicked for their exceptional horsemanship, marksmanship, and unwavering loyalty.

A String of Daring Exploits

The 1st Light Dragoons quickly proved their worth, earning a reputation as a formidable and elusive force. Their exploits became legendary, tales of daring raids and audacious maneuvers that kept the British on high alert.

One of their most famous missions was the raid on Trenton in 1776. Disguised as British soldiers, the Dragoons infiltrated the enemy stronghold and captured Hessian mercenaries, dealing a significant blow to the British morale.

Unwavering Courage in the Face of Adversity

The Dragoons faced countless hardships and setbacks during the war. They endured freezing winters, scorching summers, and constant threats from the enemy. Yet, their spirits remained unyielding.

In the Battle of Brandywine in 1777, the Dragoons stood their ground against overwhelming odds, holding back the British advance long enough for the rest of the Continental Army to retreat.

The Legacy of the 1st Light Dragoons

By the end of the Revolution, the 1st Continental Light Dragoons had disbanded, their mission accomplished. But their legacy lived on.

The regiment's contributions to the American victory were immeasurable. Their daring raids, harassment of the enemy, and unwavering courage in the face of adversity helped turn the tide of the war and inspire a nation.

Unveiling the Untold Story

For centuries, the story of the 1st Continental Light Dragoons remained hidden, obscured by time and the countless other narratives of the American Revolution.

Now, in a groundbreaking new book, historian and author Johnathan Smith unveils the untold story of this elite regiment, drawing from original documents, firsthand accounts, and years of meticulous research.

With vivid prose and captivating storytelling, Smith brings the Dragoons to life, revealing the men behind the legend—their motivations, struggles, and triumphs.
