Confederate Troops
American Civil War Armies - 1
The South's fighting men served from the time of their enlistment until
the end of the war, receiving poor rations, and even worse clothing - and
this despite the fact that one of the first steps taken by the new army
was to design a uniform and establish standards for accoutrements and
weapons. This volume examines the uniforms issued by the national
Confederate government to its artillery, cavalry and infantry troops. 48
pgs., 40 B&W and 24 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd.

Specialist Troops
American Civil War Armies - 3
With the coming of the Civil War, a U.S. Army that had depended on a
minute number of technical troops now required virtually an army of
specialists. Sharpshooters, wounded veterans of the Veteran Reserve Corps,
and large numbers of civilians in the Telegraph or Hospital Corps all
served in large numbers. This volume examines the organization and
uniforms of the specialist troops from both sides. 48 pgs., 40 B&W and 24
color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd.

State Troops
American Civil War Armies - 4
"The War between the States" is the term used for the Civil War. Many on
both sides felt that they were serving their states as much, if not more,
than their central governments. Many of the states agreed; they raised
their own units, commissioned their officers, and supplied their men. This
fascinating volume explores the uniforms of 32 states; from Alabama to
Wisconsin. 48 pgs., 40 B&W and 24 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd. |

designed by the volunteers themselves - of these units. 48 pgs., 40 B&W
and 24 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd.
