Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

Look, I know this hasn't anything to do with the topic... But if there are any of you from Texas who will be leaving Thursday evening and are passing through Dallas-Fort Worth, I am willing to drive and you can carpool with me. If interested please contact me off forum.

Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

If you are planning on doing the commemoration on Wed. evening and the march on Thursday morning, please let me know. Rations need to be provided and numbers are needed.

Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

Marty, that was my mistake. I thought you were going as Missouri State Guard. Sorry about that.

All the best,

Andrew

Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

Mike,there seems to be a mistake somewhere. I did not register as being part of the Brubridge batallion. I registered with the 1st Federal Division. I just wanted to make that correction with you so that there isn't any confusion.

Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

It's the quartermaster receipt book for Parsons Sixth Division, MSG, that show issuance in July 1861 of the types of cloth. It also shows some foodstuffs, to include canned tomatoes. At least one member of Burbridges Regiment (H.M. Cheavens) recorded making a pair of trousers for himself from bolt goods.

It was a soldier in the 37th Illinois Infantry passing through Bolivar, Missouri, in the fall of 1861 who recorded the local residents were all wearing either blue or brown jeans.

It was Otto Lademann of the 3rd Missouri Volunteers (Federal) who said the MSG at Carthage "... had no uniforms, being entirely clad in the homespun butternut jeans worn by every Missouri farmer in those days."

Eugene Ware, with the 1st Iowa, spent some time in July 1861 talking with a young woman near Forsyth, Missouri as she prepared to dye her weaving with a iron tub of "brown-black walnut juice."

Wiley Britton, a young farmer from Neosho, Missouri, recorded that when he left his family home in 1858 to start a new life in Kansas City (he helped build the Warnall House) his mother presented him with a frock coat and trousers made from jeans and dyed with walnut juice.

Re: Campaigner Battalion for Wison's Creek

Nic, the list of cloth that I have found attributed to being issued to the Missouri State Guard is as follows: jeans, calico, toweling, twills, bed ticking, hickory shirting, blue and brown drill cloth, osnaburg, stripped cotton cloth, lindsey, cottonade, satinet, and cassimere. Unfortunately I cannot find nothing on the color of some of the cloths listed. I don't have the book that this stated in, on hand. But I can post it tomorrow if you would like. They also mention tape trim being issued to the troops, although it does not say what exactly this was to be used for. Thanks

All the best,

Andrew
