I bought this several years ago when they first were produced by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison, WI. Sort of a rough tan material with light blue stripes, came in two pieces and it was sewn together by hand to form a neat full sized blanket. $100.00 plus $8.00 postage. Money Order please.

I wouldn't be too sure about the "warm" part of that... John Schwarz had (maybe still has) one of those things that he brought to several events a couple years back. John's not a real large guy, and that "Pea Ridge" blanket was more like a beach towel than anything else. :tounge_sm

Tom, possibly one of his pieces was missing?

Tom,
I can't speak for Mr. Schwarz,but the blanket arrived this weekend in good order and I was surprised at how heavy the material is.I am satisfied with my purchase and expect it will serve me well.

Thanks,
