I would have thought that my overshirt would have been too big on your lanky frame, but you look the part!

[HOUSTON] TRI-WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, October 28, 1863,
Wanted.
All ladies in Houston and surrounding counties who have cloth on hand, which they can spare, are requested to donate it to the ladies of Crockett for the purpose of making petticoats for the Minute Men of this county, who have "backed out" of the service. We think the petticoat more suitable for them in these times.
Is that Higg on the end or some homeless guy they drug in on the promise of a hot meal?

“Given that the vast majority of Americans have never heard a shot fired in anger, the imaginative presentation of military history is vital, lest rising generations have no sense of the sacrifices of which they are beneficiaries.”
Okay, I lied, it doesn't really feature Higgy, but he IS in it, and I though that might generate some interest. It's always great hanging out with him.
We were at Fort Scott, Ks., for their Candlelight Tour when we did this. The lighting in the enlisted barracks is bad but it's "period correct."

Thanks again for the great overshirt, Cody.
