Union uniform
|
The typical uniform of the Union soldier consisted
of a blue forage cap with black leather visor (a
Hardee hat is shown here), a dark blue sack coat
(flannel), blue wool trousers, and leather brogans.
He carried a knapsack, which contained half of a
two-man tent, a groundsheet, an overcoat, and his
personal effects. A rolled blanket was fastened
with straps above the knapsack. A haversack carried
rations. |
