  • March 13, 1862 - new uniforms

    The wartime diary of James Jessee, Co. K, of the 8th Ill. Regt. notes that on March 13, 1862, he received "...new uniform jacket dark blue, pants light blue..."

    Another account of the 8th receiving blue uniforms: Gouldsmith D. Molineaux, Co. E of the 8th Regt. wrote in his diary on March 13, 1862: "...We received our new uniforms today light blue pants dark blue jackets. Mine don't fit me ..."
