I went to the small museum in Fernandina Florida yesterday and thought might enjoy a look at this frock coat.

Here is one from my site http://csa-railroads.com/Essays/Orignial Docs/MISC/MISC,_MMU.htmI have often wondered how many Civil War uniforms and hats/cap are out there in smaller museums. To understand Civil War Confederate uniforms it is important to study as many as possible. With a kepi here, a frock coat there, in these smaller museums it complicates study.

From my experience, quite a few examples remain.I have often wondered how many Civil War uniforms and hats/cap are out there in smaller museums.
Great pics! Thanks for sharing!
Do you know what type of buttons were on that coat?
Thanks!
Thanks! I appreciate your response!No the coat is in a glass case and the room was rather dark so I could not see very much. So I assume the black star on the collar was once "gold" in color?
I wonder if the uniform is still in Kevin's museum as I have the book displayed with the uniform in the picture. Sad that these things are broken up.Here is one from my site http://csa-railroads.com/Essays/Orignial Docs/MISC/MISC,_MMU.htm
