Description - Uniforms of the Union Volunteers of 1861: The Mid-Atlantic States by Ron Field
This book examines what the citizen soldiery of the Mid-Atlantic states wore when they marched off to save the Union in 1861. An exhaustive search of thousands of newspapers has provided a myriad of reports and personal accounts from soldiers' letters which offer a hitherto unpublished view of the stirring events during the first few months of the Civil War.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, this has helped reconstruct the appearance of the Union volunteers of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The book is enhanced by photographs of original items of uniforms from private collections, plus imagery of the day, which show with remarkable clarity the great variety of clothing and headgear worn. Sponsored 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. AUTHOR: Ron Field is a retired history teacher and an award-winning author of 19th century military history. He is a fellow of the Company of Military Historians and senior editor of Military Images magazine. He was given the William K. Emerson Award in 2012, and advised on uniforms for the movie Free State of Jones in 2015. 175 colour and b/w images
