The Confederate Army 1861–65 (1): South Carolina & Mississippi vol 1

The common image of the Confederate Army during the Civil War (1861-1865) is dominated by a limited number of early photographs of soldiers wearing the gray and butternut associated with the CS regulations and quartermaster issues. This sequence of books examines a much wider field: the original uniforms of the state militia and volunteer companies which were brought together to form the Confederate armies, and the continuing efforts by individual states to clothe their troops as wear-and-tear reduced the originally wide range of uniforms. A mass of information from state papers and other contemporary documents is illustrated with rare photographs and meticulous color reconstructions. 00.jpg......Page 1 0.jpg......Page 2 01.jpg......Page 3 02.jpg......Page 4 03.jpg......Page 5 04.jpg......Page 6 05.jpg......Page 7 06.jpg......Page 8 07.jpg......Page 9 08.jpg......Page 10 09.jpg......Page 11 10.jpg......Page 12 11.jpg......Page 13 12.jpg......Page 14 13.jpg......Page 15 14.jpg......Page 16 15.jpg......Page 17 16.jpg......Page 18 17.jpg......Page 19 18.jpg......Page 20 19.jpg......Page 21 20.jpg......Page 22 21.jpg......Page 23 22.jpg......Page 24 23.jpg......Page 25 24.jpg......Page 26 25.jpg......Page 27 26.jpg......Page 28 27.jpg......Page 29 28.jpg......Page 30 29.jpg......Page 31 31.jpg......Page 32 32.jpg......Page 33 33.jpg......Page 34 34.jpg......Page 35 35.jpg......Page 36 36.jpg......Page 37 37.jpg......Page 38 38.jpg......Page 39 39.jpg......Page 40 40.jpg......Page 41 41.jpg......Page 42 42.jpg......Page 43 43.jpg......Page 44 44.jpg......Page 45 45.jpg......Page 46 46.jpg......Page 47 47.jpg......Page 48 48.jpg......Page 49 99.jpg......Page 50 This Book Examines The Original Uniforms Of State Militia And Volunteer Companies Which Formed The Confederate Armies, And The Continuing Efforts By South Carolina And Mississippi To Clothe Their Troops As Wear-and-tear Reduced The Originally Wide Range Of Uniforms. 1.
