This profusely illustrated volume represents more than three decades of research in public and private collections by miltary historian John P. Langallier and Civil War authority C. Paul Loane, whose own examples of Union headgear constitute one of the finest individually owned collections in the country. Combining an authoritative text with more than 350 photographs of specimens and period images, this volume is an indispensable research tool for collectors, curators, and reenactors, particularly those who are seeking an overview of the many types of headwear donned by the Union soldier between 1861-1865.
