Mr Rutledge traces the development of the familiar Indian War period U.S. Army uniform from those worn during the Civil War through its evolution to meet the conditions encountered on the plains, deserts and in the mountains of the western United States in the immediate post-War period. Through the use of first-person accounts, General Service records and period photographs, Mr. Rutledge provides text and identification and charts a true picture and understanding of the inadequate uniforms worn by the underarmed garrisons west of the Mississippi. Campaign Clothing: Field Uniforms of the Indian War Army, 1866 to 1871
