That was a great summation of the soldier’s gear. What is hard to “show” is how heavy all this stuff was. Thank you for this video.

Good information and very well presented. I have been a Civil War reenactor for 24 years, both in the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues (Grandy's Battery) and 12th Texas field artillery (Val Verde battery). It's been one of the highlights of my life. Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 65-66/70-71

After reading the 1861 U.S. regulations, I was under the impression that the government had provided some socks.

Very informative. Wool in summer! Oh my goodness, but its wicking qualities and strength were what helped soldiers stay more comfortable and free of scratches and scrapes. When Tsar Nicholas' Russian army had new uniforms designed he got a set and marched all over the Crimea (his summer home) to see how well it withstood a long march. Evidently he was pleased with it and there is a photo of him all kitted out.
