Continental Light Dragoons

3rd Continental Light Dragoons.

The unit was raised in 1777 in New Jersey and was also known as Baylor's Horse (George Baylor was regimental commander until his capture in 1778) or Lady Washington's Horse (William Washington took over command after Baylor) and took part in battles such as Brandywine, Germantown, Guilford Court House, Cowpens, and Eutaw Springs. We have depicted them here charging in battle as they had done on numerous occasions.
