In these pages you'll find fully functional, authentically wrought replicas of the uniforms, weapons, foodstuffs, household furnishings, and even buildings used during the war that shaped America more than any other. You can still purchase the hat worn by Confederate cavalryman John Singleton Mosby; the wallpaper used in Abraham Lincoln's Springfield home; the camp chair on which Ulysses S. Grant sat while penning orders. These and more than 500 other items are listed with illustrations and ordering information. Author Alan Wellikoff brings the history of each of these items to life with descriptions rich in Civil War lore. Sidebars throughout the text complement the listings with historical anecdotes, little-known facts, and even wartime recipes. Wellikoff also provides information about the craftspeople who make these meticulous reproductions, a living link to America's past. The Civil War Supply Catalogue will be a unique resource for anyone in search of authentic 19th-century items. House restorers will encounter carpets, garden furniture, and wallcoverings; reenactors will discover many varieties of uniform, firearms, tents, and even hardtack; others can locate the sources for hoop skirts, jewelry, cigars, and patent medicines. Nor are the listings limited to inanimate objects: you can find trees, historical impersonators, musicians, and a comprehensive listing of reenactment groups and living history museums that constitute a vital part of the Civil War's ongoing heritage.
