Campaign Clothing: Field Uniforms of the Indian War Army (Part. 2 1872-1886)
In Campaign Clothing: Field Uniforms of the Indian War Army, 1872- 1886, Lee A. Rutledge traces the development of the U.S. Army's uniform from the Eastern- influenced designs of the Civil War to the development of a fighting uniform suitable for all climates and terrains in the second book in the "Field Uniforms of the Indian War Army" series. In doing so, he specifically points out how soldier-performed modifications to the uniform laid the basis of the all-purpose uniforms worn today.
