In the game's words
How to use it
Dragoons are a fast, ranged unit. They are effective at raiding and chasing down enemy cavalry. Their range is short, and they can be vulnerable to longer ranged soldiers. Dragoons have a good measure of everything that make a unit effective: speed, some range, and hitpoints. Sure, they cost more population space than infantry, but infantry can't catch them.
History
Dragoons were a very flexible mounted infantry, using their horses to move swiftly, then often dismounting to fight on foot with carbines, pistols, and sabers. During the eighteenth century in Europe, military leaders maintained dozens of regiments of Dragoons, placing them in a fixed role as medium cavalry. In the Americas, Dragoons were used as both cavalry and infantry. They scouted, raided camps, screened armies, and protected the rear of retreats. Dragoons wore tall helmets, often plumed, and carried a variety of arms. The carbines they used, called "dragons," gave the Dragoons their name. This short-barreled, smoothbore weapon had less range and power than a rifle and required that Dragoons be accompanied by infantrymen or dismounted Dragoons armed with longer-range firearms.
