Synopsis

The common image of the Confederate Army during the Civil War is dominated by a limited number of early photographs of troops wearing the gray and butternut of the CS regulations and quartermaster issues.

By contrast, this fifth book in a sequence examines the variety of uniforms worn by the Tennessee and North Carolina militia and volunteers brought together in the Confederate field armies, and the continuing efforts to clothe them as wear-and-tear gradually reduced this wide range of uniforms.

A mass of information from contemporary documents is illustrated with rare early photographs and meticulous color reconstructions.
