- Lot Description
American, 19th century, goblet form with beaded border, engraved with insignia for Charleston Light Dragoons and engraved "W. W. White/from", "C. L. Dragoons", other side engraved "Wm. Reynolds Carroll/Born June 7th 1897./ Wm. Reynolds Carroll II/Dec. 8th 1924/Wm. Reynolds Carroll/Oct. 23rd 1947", marks for John Ewan (Charleston, South Carolina, working 1823-1852), 9.34 oz. T., 3-1/2 in.; with W. Eric Emerson, [Sons of Privilege, The Charleston Light Dragoons in the Civil War], referencing William W. White's service with the Charleston Light Dragoons. Notes: The Charleston Light Dragoons The story of South Carolina 4th Regiment Company K is interwoven with the social and military history of South Carolina from the early colonial days. It is clear that the corps existed at least as early as 1733, being called then with British loyalty the “Charleston Horse-Guards”, a title changed, doubtless in deference to Republican sentiment, at the Revolution, into “Charleston Light Dragoons”. Those who filled the ranks were men of privilege. Their surnames and their social, political, and financial status afforded them both tangible and intangible benefits. These factors worked to the dragoons’ advantage because there were substantial numbers of Charlestonians, South Carolinians, and others willing to acknowledge and facilitate the special treatment of these men and their families. Few other units in the Confederate armies embodied so completely the wealth of the planter class; none more intimately tied to the birthplace of secession. The dragoons represented the elite of Charleston and the low country and, in their own opinion, the region’s most valuable citizens.. Provenance: Private Collection; by family descent
