    Re: Your Impression(s)

    I have had time to work on all of my impressions. I have gone from doing just any soldier at anytime to narrowing down a particular impressions.
    I have worked on my mid-war ANV, late-war Army of Tennessee. Army of the Ohio is my current project,which is coming along quite well. I have decided at this time not to do anything with the AOP impression. The reason being is that when on the few occasions that I do journey across the big river, and head to the Eastern area of operations, I want to be a ANV soldier. Since I can protray a soldier from a unit from my home state. My civilian impression is growing. I have several clothing sets. My next big project is an Undertaker/Embalmer, have most of the clothes,but still working on my instruments. I am studying up on that impression. I am just dying to complete it.

    Since I have been hanging around here, reading & doing reasearch, even using the search that is on this forum, ( hey you know that thing really works ) I am striving to improve all aspects, from gear, clothing, and knowledge, including my attitude. It doesn't cost much to do research, just time.

      Early Western theater, Federal.

      Its my first impression, and still in the works, as I am new to this yet. Personally, I started with the 50th Illionois to be the basis of my impression, as they participated in the battles I wished to partake in.

            My impressions are wide and varied. I can do about any Federal Infantry impression. I am also working on my western theater confederate infantry impression and am about done with it. I also have a complete Federal Cavalry impression, plus Confederate cavalry is pretty much just an infantryman on horseback, so that one is pretty much set. I also have almost everything for my civilian impression. Some parts of each kit I still have to barrow, but I am slowly getting there.

                Old thread, but I thought I would contribute to it.....


                The employees of the Tyler laboratory in Tyler, Texas were reported to be wearing a uniform of osnaburg trimmed in red wool flannel on the cuffs and collar.


                Sounds more like a Mexican soldado than a Confederate soldier.

                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.

                            Early War, Western Federal all the way for me. I also have a pretty good late war Western Federal and could pull off AOP in needed but they are not my favorite. I am starting to put together a CS kit but it is not a high priority for me right now.

                                I have to say Missoura State Guard is by far my favorite impression. Specifically early MSG in '61.
                                Followed by late war Missoura Confederate around the Battle of Franklin and that whole time frame.
