[donna]

A-Frame Tent The A-frame was larger and higher, with a front entrance that closed and secured with flaps. it was used by officers or as a general purpose tent.

From "The Civil War Reader Facts, Trivia, Legends and Lore" by E.J. Patrick page 132.

 

[James B White]

"A-frame" is what reenactors call it today. Does anyone have evidence that it was called that in the period? All I've seen are "common tent" or "A tent."

Most of my referances call it a common or wedge tent.
