Don Troiani's Civil War Infantry by Don Troiani Pdf
This book is taken from the larger volume ¿Don Troiani¿s Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War¿ to provide a less expensive reference source for those interested in specific areas of Civil War uniforms. The outcome of nearly every major battle of the Civil War depended on infantry, the foot soldiers in blue and grey who wielded the muskets and sabres. Although some standardization existed, soldiers often modified their uniforms to meet battlefield necessity or to express unit pride, such as the PA regiment known by the bucktails that troops wore in their hats. The photos in this volume indicate what infantrymen wore and carried, and Troiani's paintings bring the men and their deeds to vivid life. This book is lavishly illustrated in full-color.
