A Soldier and His Many Hats: The volutE ion of American Military Headgear Abstract Military headgear is a fascinating topic. It exists on a spectrum from the gaudy to the protective, but how did headgear evolve with the military? Interestingly, changes from the decorative to the practical can be examined through this blog’s favorite topic, the 1800s and the American Civil War. By tracing key changes in American military headgear in the 1800s, ideas about the nature of war, as well as how the United States was distancing itself from Europe, become clear.

  • Authenticity Standards
    Washington Civil War Association Living History Committee Guidelines April 21, 2019 WCWA Mission The Washington Civil War Association (WCWA) is a nonprofit organization established to honor America’s past by reenacting the War Between the States. Our objective is to interpret and present the daily life of Confederate and Federal soldiers, and their families and associates, for the public through living history, reenactments, first person characterizations, and education. To this end, our member units portray military and civilian organizations from all theaters of the Civil War during the period of 1861 to 1865. Living History Committee Statement The Living History Committee shall process requests and coordinate presentations for school and living history programs; develop educational materials and lesson plans; develop materials for educating members and the public about authenticity; when necessary, convene a temporary task force to examine authenticity issues and make recommendations to the Board of Directors. Since our member units portray companies with widely divergent backgrounds, the authenticity of the individual units is the responsibility of the individual unit commander or leader. Questions about the authenticity of any unit’s clothing or equipage should be directed to that unit’s commander or leader. If unsatisfactory answers to questions about authenticity are provided by the unit commander or leader within a reasonable period of time, the Chairman may ask the Living History Committee to convene a temporary task force. The purpose of the task force is to examine the issues present and make recommendations (if any) based on the best information available. This task force’s sole purpose is to gather information.

Colonel Pete Seielstad As we near July 1st, I am always drawn by the action that took place at Gettysburg. General Buford’s men holding the ground against the confederate force, General Reynolds surveying the land, agreeing with Buford that the enemy must be fought on this ground and ordering his men to hurry along and “Drive those fellows out of the woods.” The men of the Iron Brigade take General Reynolds’ last orders seriously and loading at the run meet Archer’s Brigade head on. We 2 all know the story about these Western men and their brave dash to meet the enemy and dish out deadly fire upon the gray-clad rebels. What can we say about the 6th Wisconsin and their ability to hold their fire and shout out “Surrender” to those trapped in the Railroad Cut? To reflect on that 1st day in July of 1863, is to consider the fact that these men lost the day’s battle as they retreated through the town of Gettysburg but purchased precious time for the Federals to assemble.

    Contents Camp News Pages 3-9 Wisconsin Department Pioneers Page 10 Patiotci Instruccotr Page 11-12 Camps & Officers Page 13 COMMANDER'S COLUMN Brothers, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and that you and your families will have a healthy and wonderful New Year. We will be compiling the reports for the Mid-Winter meeting on Saturday, February 2nd. The reports should be for activity since the June Department Encampment. I will be sending out a fillable form that can be used as a template for what type of information to include. You may use the form, or a word document. Please send the report electronically so I can have printed copies made to share at the meeting. I will need reports from each of the Camps as well as from the Department Officers by January 19th to give me time to assemble them. Some of you have asked about what the SUVCW can do regarding the issue of the marker and cenotaph in the Confederate Rest section of Forest Hill Cemetery in Madison. I compiled a list of articles regarding Madison's issues with the stone with the plaque on it, and the cenotaph marker with the names of the Confederate soldiers who died as POW's at Camp Randall, and are buried at Forest Hill Cemetery. Per a discussion with CinC Don Shaw, I have sent the articles to the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, who originally installed both markers. Although this is not directly our fight, it speaks to the modern tendency to remove any historical markers that have the potential to offend someone.

  • Uniform and Equipment Guidelines
    UNIFORMS, WEAPONS, ACCOUTREMENTS, AND EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES for Company G, 2nd Infantry Regiment, California Volunteers 29th-31st January 2021 Note: Please remember that we are trying to recreate the original soldiers of Company G. We can and shall strive to have the best material authenticity possible and conduct ourselves in a manner respectful of the original soldiers we are portraying for public education. If everyone does their best you might be surprised at how well we do. Please see below for a listing of uniforms, weapons, accoutrements and equipment recommended for the event. In the case where multiple items can be used, they have been ranked in order of preference, “A,” “B,” “C,” etc. Uniform wool color. No faded “purple” fatigue blouse, forage cap, or uniform coat wool. The indigo dye used to dye the original wool does not fade purple. If your fatigue blouse, forage cap, or uniform coat is fading purple, please look into purchasing a new one. Also, no bright “teal” colored fatigue blouses, forage caps, or uniform coats. Indigo does not dye cloth a bright greenish blue “teal” color either. It is just as incorrect for your uniform to be dyed this color as it is for it to be purple. We are not interested in what excuses vendors offer for this, or unsupported claims of authenticity. If you have questions regarding the “correctness” of your uniform color, please contact the event coordinator and authenticity officer. 1. Uniform 1-1.
