I'm assembling a living history presentation for our local history museum here in Kansas. Does anyone have information on contractors, arsenals, etc that supplied arms, equipment, and uniforms for local regiments? Is it safe to go with items from the westernmost depots and contractors? Authenticity guidelines for recent events portraying Kansas regiments have helped, as well as online sources of photographs and information about the general (and often poor) state of equipping troops in the Trans-Mississippi.

Re: Equipping Kansas Troops?
Will, there is an awesome book written about the 8th Kansas vol. inf. by bill McFarland. the book is titled "keep the flag to the front" you may have already heard about it being from Kansas, however it is a good read, and i believe there is information in it about them getting supplied, however i cannot remember exactly.
