This volume examines what the citizen soldiery of the New England
states wore when they marched off to save the Union in 1861. An
exhaustive search of thousands of newspapers yielded a myriad of
reports and personal accounts from soldiers letters, which together
offer a hitherto unpublished view of the stirring events during the
first few months of the Civil War. Combined with fascinating detail
from numerous diaries and regimental histories, the author is able
to describe the appearance of the Union volunteers of
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont,
and Maine. The narrative is enhanced by photographs of original
uniform items from private collections, plus imagery of the day
showing the great variety of clothing and headgear worn. Accepted
by the Company of Military Historians, this is an essential
reference for collectors, living historians, modelers, and
curators, as well as anyone with a general interest in the Civil
War.
