French Carabiniers: 1679-1871 (Officers and Soldiers of)

This book traces the glorious history of the elite French cavalry. Through 61 plates of highly detailed uniform illustrations, AndrÃ© Jouineau guides the reader from the first company of carabiniers established within in each regimentâ€•those superior marksmen equipped with a rifle, the gauge of precision par excellenceâ€•sought after by Louis XIV in 1690, to the fiery carabiniers of Napoleon IIIâ€™s Imperial Guard who disappeared in defeat in 1870. The authorsâ€™ primary emphasis, however, is given to the First Empire.
