  • NEED HELP Looking for photos notes on Illinois Uniforms

    I am right now in the process of writing my new book on Illinois uniforms, with emphasis on the Illinois State Jacket-- Doing the 90 Volunteers and need any descriptions or photos of these soldiers in their donated Company uniforms-- I know its a long shot-- but give me the address or library and I will take care of the rest--I do have a couple, but these are rare-- many of them just had a shirt and havelock donated-- Any help is appreciated--

    Tom-

    The link below has lots of pictures of Illinois soldiers in their uniforms and several are wearing "state jackets". Not exactly what you need but it may help.

    Pvt. Albert R. Cumpston (Company B, 12th Illinois Vol. Inf.-W.I.A. February 15, 1862)
    Pvt. William H. Cumpston (Company B, 12th Illinois Vol. Inf.-K.I.A. February 15, 1862 Ft. Donelson)
    Pvt. Simon Sams (Co. C, 18th Iowa Inf.-K.I.A. January 8, 1863 Springfield, MO)
    Pvt. Elisha Cox (Co. C, 26th North Carolina Inf.-W.I.A. July 3, 1863 Gettysburg)
