  • Who was selling drawers at Vicksburg in the heat?

    Hey all ~ Pat Landrum got us some ready for Manassas years back with the heat of Vicksburg -
    on Friday night I purchased a pair of drawers there that are my favorite (and only reliable)
    undergarments. Does anybody remember who might have sold these at Vicksburg? I would
    very much like to purchase a couple pair more of these estimable garments. Thanks, comrades.
    On to Shiloh!

    Jim,
    The only vendor I remember being at that event was an agent for the unmentionable one from NJ.

    Pretty sure that is the source you are after.

      Jim, I have a pair of US drawers from that guy from NJ that Mr. Conley mentioned and they are top notch. They may very well be the same ones.

          Yeah and Landrum pressured me into buying a 5lb wool blanket that weekend. Needless to say it was not used..at all.

              Folks, that was me and you can mention my name. And I no longer represent said vendor.
