Ok need some help I am looking for an article or write up of canteens used by Confederates. A good overview needed not specific to Federal canteens in use by Confederate forces but a good over view tin, leather, wooden, etc.. focused on western theater however a good generic article will do..

The Unfinished Fight Volume I: Essays on Confederate Material Culture - Craig Barry - "A Few Thoughts on Confederate Canteens and US Captured Canteens", pp. 105-114.
Also, excellent examples of CS canteens throughout either edition of Sylvia & O'Donnell's Civil War Canteens.Bob Roeder
"I stood for a time and cried as freely as boys do when things hurt most; alone among the dead, then covered his face with an old coat I ran away, for I was alone passing dead men all about as I went". Pvt. Nathaniel C. Deane (age 16, Co D 21st Mass. Inf.) on the death of his friend Pvt. John D. Reynolds, May 31, 1864. -
