More Images of Original equipment/Clothing provided courtesy of
GALLA ROCK SHIRT & PATTERN CO.
These images are of two original caps and an original leather canteen, housed in a museum archives in the Trans-Mississippi Area(the museum does not desire it to be known that it has these items as it is not a museum covering the Civil War Era and they are not on display)
We must apologize for the quality of the images. As we entered this museum's archives, we knew from a reliable source that they had at least a few items in their archives. We were only alotted a couple of hours, and as they began pulling items out of cabinets, drawers, shelves, we were clicking as fast as our fingers, and camera, would allow.
The hands belong to our own Donna
