In this video, I discuss Union and Confederate gear and equipment from the Civil War, including cap box, cartridge box, belt, bayonet, and of course the all important canteen. I also discuss the haversack, bedroll, and the uncomfortable and heavy knapsack.

My great-great-great-great grandfather was John S. Kidder who fought under Emory Upton in the 121st New York Volunteers. This is so cool! Amazing to see what our ancestors lived on.

This kid probably accurately represents the typical soldier and how young and unprepared they were to deal with the realities of battle.

Does wearing a forage cap from that era without insignia says that the soldier is a draftee who could be place in any company that had a severe loss of men dead or wounded for replacement?
