The Eastern and New England states that fought for the Union during the American Civil War were outfitted with a diverse range of uniforms and personal equipment. This book provides a comprehensive description and illustration of these items, showcasing the clothing, insignia, and gear worn by the soldiers who served in these states. The United States Army, facing off against the Confederacy, fought for five years to defend the Union, and this volume chronicles the clothing, insignia, and gear worn by 12 of these states. While standard Union Army patterns were widely issued, some troops wore distinctive items of dress or insignia, and a wide variety of weapons were carried. Ron Field, an acknowledged authority on US military apparel, reveals how the Eastern and New England states clothed and equipped their regiments during the Civil War. The book includes eight plates of original artwork showing officers and enlisted men of the Union Army, complemented by photographs of soldiers and items of uniform from various sources.
