Description
On the planet of historical painting, Don Troiani stands on my own, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and detail of his depictions of The united states’s past. In Don Troiani’s Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War, first released in 2002, the artist turned his brush to the units and uniforms of the War between the States. Through Troiani’s careful reconstructions and the accompanying text, the book offers one of the crucial comprehensive looks at Civil War uniforms ever undertaken. Along with the full volume in hard cover, Stackpole Books now presents four handsome, in my view bound paperbacks, each and every covering different branches of service and types of soldier.
The outcome of nearly each and every major battle of the war depended on infantry, the foot soldiers in blue and gray who wielded the muskets and sabers. Even supposing some standardization existed, soldiers frequently modified their uniforms to meet battlefield necessity or to express unit pride, such as the Pennsylvania regiment known by the bucktails troops wore in their hats. The photographs in this volume indicate what infantrymen wore and carried, and Troiani’s paintings bring the men and their deeds to vivid life.
