Summary: An excellent resource of material about the Union Soldier
Comment: Since the Civil War ended, the uniforms of the Union Soldiers have been portrayed as basically blue with the gold buttons going down the center. While this is marginally accurate, the uniforms of the Union Soldiers that fought in the Civil War were actually unique and had various patterns. In this excellent book, the uniforms are shown in color, and they are quite different, yet the same in general appearance. It is informative, interesting and enjoyable to view the wide variety of Officer and Enlisted Uniforms that were worn during the Civil War.

Also presented in this fine book are the various flags that were flown by regiments in battle. Flags made by Tiffany's to Women from throughout the Union, these flags were in fierce battle and were held by brave men who in quite a few instances gave the ultimate sacrifice by waving their regimental flags.

Cannons, Swords, Pistols, Rifles and other arms are shown as well as Cannons, Canteens, and various other equipment that was used by Union Soldiers are displayed.

This is the companion book to the Arms and Equipment of the Confederacy and both books are a MUST have in the serious Civil War Historian, and affecianado's library.

Highly Recommended!

Summary: ARMS & EQUIPMENT OF THE UNION
Comment: One of three similar books issued by TIME/LIFE that is a good introduction to those of us gettng started in War Between The States reenacting who want to get the right authenticity. This book deals with Small Arms, Uniforms, Equipment, Music, Flags, and (my field of interest) Artillery, and lists why certain equipment was used over others of the time. Easy to read, loaded with photographs of period equipment, this book is well worth the price, which, incidentally, is MUCH less expensive than the bookstore price (even considering P&H). If your library carries it, great! But if not, it's a good investment... I first saw the book in Gettysburg when I had a question for a merchant specializing in period headwear (whom I can't mention: Sorry BILLY!), and he referred to this book to find the answer. Drop me a line if any of you have questions. (No, I'm not the author or affilliated with sales)... [email protected]
