This volume fills a gap in the knowledge of the uniforms, clothing, headgear, equipment, and armament of U.S. Navy soldiers during the American Civil War era. The in-depth text is based on the analysis of contemporary reports, official documents, diary entries, letters and other sources and is accompanied by a large number of contemporary illustrations, many of which are shown for the first time. In addition, there are colour photos of original pieces of the uniforms and equipment, which further illuminate the everyday life and deployment of the seamen. In great detail, the author describes the various changes in uniform and equipment for the officers and ordinary sailors of the U.S. Navy between 1852 and 1865.
