Civil War Uniforms reference material.

 

	Uniforms of the Civil War An Illustrated Guide for Historians, Collectors, and Re-enactors. Smith & Field. Although "the Blue and the Gray" succinctly evokes the North and the South, in actuality, the uniforms of Civil War soldiers were anything but "uniform" - neither in color nor any other facet. This book explores this fascinating branch of military history, presenting an in-depth study of the many and varied uniforms worn in the Civil War. 288 pgs., 260 B&W and color photos and illustrations, 10"x 12", soft cover.
	The Illustrated Directory of Uniforms, Weapons & Equipment of the Civil War Miller, ed. Superb photography in this book depicts rifles, muskets and handguns; swords and bayonets; artillery pieces and shells; caps, badges of rank, medals, belt buckles and buttons; and uniforms and field gear of the U.S. Army, Confederate Army and militias. Specially commissioned color plates of uniformed figures accompany descriptions of the military paraphernalia. 480 pgs., 4½"x 8½", sfbd.
	Officers and Soldiers of the American Civil War Vol 1: Infantry. Jouineau & Mongin. Seldom, if ever, have so many Civil War uniforms, all in breathtaking color, been gathered in one volume. 84 color plates depict over 300 infantry uniforms for both North and South, along with flags and equipment. Regulation uniforms are covered, as are musicians, special units, state militias, and the non-regulation uniforms adopted in the field. 84 pgs., 8"x 9½", sfbd.
	Officers and Soldiers of the American Civil War Vol 2: Cavalry & Artillery. Jouineau & Mongin. Both cavalry and artillery were regarded as elite units during the Civil War, and this status is reflected in their uniforms and flags. Here, 84 color plates depict 250 cavalry and artillery uniforms for both North and South along with their flags, equipment and unit structures. 84 pgs., 8"x 9½", sfbd.
	The Confederate Army 1861-1865 South Carolina & Mississippi. Field & Hook. This book examines not only the apparel initially worn by the troops of the South Carolina and Mississippi state militia and volunteer companies, but also the continuing efforts of individual states to clothe their troops as wear-and-tear reduced the originally wide range of uniforms. Includes rare photographs and meticulous color reconstructions. 48 pages, 7¼"x 9¾", softcover.
