Posted by Wil Gibson on 7/6/2005, 8:09 pm, in reply to "Arms and Ordinance info" Hapen to be in Waller, TX by way of Rochester, MN. Read the co. records on the site. In the beginning, arms were a smattering of personally owned or state issued pistols and long arms were generally sawed off shotguns and a few 58 cal. muskets. Uniforms were State issued jean-wool brown shoddy) with black trim. Brogans and a few boots. The longer the war goes on, the less we know about issued uniforms.. I do have a reference to an 1863 letter.. "mom, the uniforms they give us keep wearing out.. send me my buckskins, everyone;s wearin' them.." Other than that, it get's sketchy.. Wil
