5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent overview
Excellent overview of uniforms and equipment of the Civil War. Book is broken into Union Epuipment and Confederate Epuipment and further subdivided into States. Especially notable are the many photos and color plates throughout the book.

Nice, but not a good color reference
I won't disagree with the previous three reviewers except to note that this makes a poor painting guide if you're looking for a wargaming reference. Very few color plates, so it's primary use is for style and equipment rather than color schemes. For $12, however, not a bad reference.

Very good, very detailed, by unit. Lots of good photography. For the novice like myself, a great starting point.

Civil War Uniforms,
By K. Murphy "Fortune favors the Bold" (The thriving metropolis of Masury, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uniforms of the Civil War: An Illustrated Guide for Historians, Collectors, and Reenactors (Paperback)
An excellent guide for reenactors, wargamers, and those who, like myself, are simply interested. The book discusses the unique units and their uniforms for each invidual state on both sides, and is well-endowed with haunting photographs of individual soldiers, and brilliant color plate by Richard Hook. A good starting point and also a useful reference!
5.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uniforms of the Civil War (Hardcover)
This book gives a pretty thorough history and explanation of the various uniforms of the Civil War, from production to distribution to use. Lots of great vintage and modern photographs, as well as illustrations, to help with documentation by enthusiasts or reenactors, with even a state-by-state breakdown in uniform styles, colors, and availability. A very interesting read, and makes a handy reference guide.
