Re: Wearing gear from a soldier in Hooker’s army

I would love to see someone here accouter himself as the Badger describes and take a picture and post it here in this discussion. It would be interesting to see, not just read and imagine...

More from Mr. Brown on his carrying technique.

" It was also arranged so that there was no strain across my chest. I found it to be the most easy way I had ever carried my load though it was much more inconvenient than in a knapsack." Mr. Brown states in the journal that he had been wounded in the left shoulder at Antietam.
