A military unit from Connecticut established an impressive number of “firsts” during the Revolutionary War. The Second Light Dragoons was the very first American unit to undertake a cavalry charge (on horseback). They also started the Pony Express and the infamous Culper Spy Ring around New York City, while providing security for General George Washington throughout the war.
