Hello again to everyone!
After being out of touch for a while, I am trying to keep up with the progression of things. In my recent travels over the past year in the Marine Corps. I got to see the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond... finally! Well, as I was looking through the items upstares in Jeff Davis' personal family affects there happens to be a pair of Confederate Brogans that are made out of jean wool, have wooden soles, and a 2 button closure strap. I think they were also lined inside with canvas. My question is was this something that was actually used? Perhaps a last resort that just never came into effect? I do not remember what exactly the story was behind them if any...but was very curious to know! Thanks for any info! It's great to be back!
