AMERICAN CIVIL WAR UNION ARMY by Robin Smith

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR UNION ARMY by Robin Smith

For the connoisseur or the newcomer to the study of military uniforms there are few more evocative subjects than the American Civil War. In those terrible years, in which the North fought the South, more American lives were lost than in any other conflict in which the US has been involved. World War II, Korea, Vietnam - none compared with the carnage of the American Civil War. For the military historian, the enormous variety of uniforms and equipment to be seen on the battlefield and behind the lines provide endless opportunities for modelling, re-enactment and wargaming. A companion volume to "The American Civil War: The Confederate Army", this book is a thorough analysis of the US Army at the time of the national crisis, with chapters detailing the uniforms and equipment of the regular army, including infantry, cavalry and artillery. There are also chapters on the many colourful militia regiments raised to swell the Northern Army, including Zouaves, Chasseurs, Lancers and Hussars, in their own impressive uniforms, as well as the little-known role of American Indian Cavalry units.
