Lindsey,
Did you happen to see this before:
Photo of the cap and a brief discription. I never saw the MoC's newsletter before.Bob Roeder
"I stood for a time and cried as freely as boys do when things hurt most; alone among the dead, then covered his face with an old coat I ran away, for I was alone passing dead men all about as I went". Pvt. Nathaniel C. Deane (age 16, Co D 21st Mass. Inf.) on the death of his friend Pvt. John D. Reynolds, May 31, 1864. -

Re: Cicero Bowman kepi
I have one close-up photo of the Cicero Bowman kepi. I don't have the measurements. And there may or may not be an early 20th century label providing further information on this cap, like others. But I can check.Originally posted by brown View PostJason C. Spellman
