Early in the Civil War H. Hallock was providing the State of Michigan small numbers of beaver coats for military use. I take it these were for use by sentries during cold weather. It would seem like beaver coats would be too heavy to wear while marching. Would it be safe to assume the beaver coats would be of "civilian" style? Does anyone have information source for describing beaver military coats form this era?
