Book Description
This book is about the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, described in the Wall Street Journal as "the U.S. military's most idiosyncratic unit." Founded in 1774, the Troop is the only military organization in America that elects its own officers and owns its own armory. By tradition, its college-educated members enlist as privates when they could normally serve as officers elsewhere, and forego their military pay. In return for these sacrifices, they enjoy membership in a brotherhood that predates the United States.
