For a while now, I have heard of Confederate knapsacks that were made and issued unpainted; i.e. natural cotton canvas without any black paint applied to them, etc. However, I have yet to come across any primary source material for this. So, if you would happen to have primary source material for unpainted Confederate knapsacks - and don't mind sharing it - could you please provide me with any primary source material / documents that support the issuance of unpainted knapsacks to Confederate soldiers.
Further, it would seem that Federal soldiers were also being issued unpainted knapsacks. So again, if you have (and don't mind sharing) your primary documents to support the issuance of unpainted knapsacks to Federal soldiers, that would be great.
Thanks,
