The American Soldier, Rifle Regiment Officer
| "A general staff officer stands in the left foreground in the single-breasted blue coat with black herringbone false buttonholes on the chest and cuffs and gold bullet buttons. The uniform was adopted in 1813 and worn for the next two decades. Behind him is a mounted general officer, whose saddle with its bearskin covered pistol holsters rests on a blue saddle cloth with a wide gold lace border ordered for general and staff officers. Both men wear the high military boots allowed only to general and general officers." "In the right foreground is a rifle regiment field grade officer in the gray dress uniform adopted for those regiments in March 1814 and later also worn by the 26th Infantry Regiment; the officer's shako is of the same shape worn by the light artillery; with the distinctive round rifle capplate and the green rifle plume." |
