About This Book
Overview

This long-awaited book fills a gap in knowledge of the uniform clothing, headgear, equipage, & weapons of the United States Navy during the Civil War period. Based on original accounts from official documents, newspapers, diaries, letters, & other primary sources, the well-written text is accompanied by a wealth of period images of navy personnel, many of which are identified & published for the first time. Numerous photographs of surviving articles of clothing & artifacts throw further light on life in a blockading fleet or on the High Seas from 1852 through 1865.

With great clarity the author explains the various changes to officers’ uniforms & for the first time provides a detailed analysis of the clothing worn by ratings & enlisted men. A much needed book in a long overlooked subject.
