While Civil War soldiers may have viewed their uniforms, weapons, and shelters as commonplace, these items serve as fascinating relics for all Civil War enthusiasts today. One such item, and a commonly embraced alternative to the heavy backpack or "knapsack," was the bed roll: a blanket wrapped into a cylinder and draped over the shoulder. The heavy blanket was prone to chafing the wearer. It would be stuffed with a number of personal items and necessities and then secured with a small drawstring around both ends ensuring the contents remained inside. Since the bedroll was made of blanket or carpet materials from home, a large variety of color variation could be seen in all the various armies of the Confederacy throughout the entire civil war.
