Description

Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1988. 160 pp, large 8vo (9 7/8" H). B&w and color photographs, reproductions. "Eschwing the traditional approach to regimental history, wherein battles are dissected and hoary anecdotes repeated, Stephen Wood tackles the subject from an alternative angle. Appreciating the quality and quantity of the possessions held by The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers & Greys), Scotland's only cavalry regiment and one known and respected throughout the world, he decided to re-tell its story and illustrate it using the accummulated treasures of the three regiments which go to make up The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. It is a story rich in facts and in fable, in myth and in legend, but the reality of the regiment as an extended and ancient military family permeates it throughout. The book's subject is military history but its illustrations take it into fields of applied and fine arts, fields never far removed from the subject itself but ones often regarded as separate by traditionalists on both sides of the supposed military/arts divide. This is a book which will arouse, charm, annoy and enrapture the reader with its revelations about the history of an exlusive cavalry regiment and its illustrations of the quality of that regiment's possessions." Dust jacket has very minor edge wear/wrinkling, minor rubbing. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.
