Take a look at: The Knoxville Campaign (Burnside and Longstreet in East Tennessee), by Earl Hess, U. of Tennessee Press, 2012. Besides the details of the campaign, it has 15 pages of OOBs. Being written by Earl Hess, it has all the detail you could ask for. |

The book I reviewed several weeks ago, Maps of Chickamauga, TMP link has a good OB in the back that gives all of Longstreet's units that actually made it to the Chickamauga battlefield. The author makes several mentions that the corps received new dark grey-blue uniforms on their trip west and thus were several times confused as Yankees by their Army of Tennessee compatriots. Jim |

Gone shopping at Amazon :) Thanks muchly for the feedback, appreciated! BTW, was it all of his Corps that got the blue-grey jackets, or just Kershaw's & Benning's Brigades? In Don Troiani's Regiment's & Uniforms book of the American Civil War, it mentions those two but doesn't indicate any others…. |
