While doing some research recently, I found this interesting description of a Confederate haversack in the Tri Weekly Citizen, Canton, Mississippi, December 12, 1863:
"Lost this day, in Canton, between 1 and 2 o'clock P.M., a new black enameled cloth haversack; black tape shoulder strap, one inch wide, and flap bound green. It had a piece of black leather inside, and belongs to S.L. Mosby. The finder will please return it to him, or to the undersigned.
A.M. Gurley."
