Allen Redwood, who served in the 55th, left a fine Richmond depot, cadet grey kersey jacket and blue trousers in the Museum of the Confederacy. Redwood became a well known artist after the war. His drawings of the Confederate fighting man found in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War are worth careful study by anyone seeking to perfect his impression. Photographs of original members of the 47th exhibit the same variety found generally in the ANV and in Field's brigade. Pictures of four men show four different uniform styles.
Newton wears a medium grey or butternut jacket and vest.
Hart appears in a dark, tight fitting, long waisted jacket or coat and light trousers. Watson wears a medium colored, grey or brown jacket with a darker collar. His trousers resemble the jacket in color and fabric. Private Wiley Schools' photograph shows him in a loose jacket of light cloth with darker collar and cuffs. His trousers seem to match the jacket.
