Re: The Confederate Soldier in the ANV
If you are looking for the "fine details" I would suggest you purchase "Letters to Amanda"...there is much in there, thoroughout his letters, of the clothing he is obtaining from home, his frock coats, slouch hats, what he does with his CS issue greatcoat every Spring, etc....all letters written during the War to his wife. His final uniform was issued to him from the Richmond Depot just prior to Petersburg, where he was KIA. Prior to that all his clothing came from his wife's hand, 1861 - 1865...
