HTML clipboardAmerican Civil War Armies (1) Men-at-Arms 170
Confederate Troops When the Southern states seceded to form their own government in 1861, one
of their first moves was to organise an army. The South's fighting men served
from the time of their enlistment until the end of the war, receiving poor
rations, and even worse clothing – and this despite the fact that one of the
first steps taken by the new army was to design a uniform and establish
standards for accoutrements and weapons. In this first of five volumes examining
American Civil War armies, Philip Katcher profiles the uniforms issued by the
national Confederate government to its artillery, cavalry and infantry troops.
