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 some of the comprehensive looks at Civil War uniforms ever undertaken. Along with the full volume in hard cover, Stackpole Books now presents four handsome, personally bound paperbacks, every covering different branches of service and varieties of soldier.
Perhaps the most famous–and unquestionably the most exotic–uniforms of the Civil War belonged to the Zouaves, troops of French derivation whose vibrant attire was once accented by fezzes and baggy trousers. These soldiers cut a flashy figure, and Troiani depicts them in all their colorful glory. This volume also covers the uniforms of engineers, surgeons, marines, and generals.
