CWDD: Pennsylvania Bucktails

[Jeremy Bevard]

Join us for the kick off of a new sub-series within the Digest - “Arms & Uniforms.” In these, we will look at a particular unit from the Civil War and explore how their arms and uniforms changed throughout the war and look at the impact that had on the men and the people who supplied them. Let’s meet the Pennsylvania Bucktails. Known as excellent light infantrymen, their first weapons didn’t support that role. We will meet them at four different points throughout their service and see what changed, and what affect it had on them.
