Cumming's Brigade White Uniforms

[Mississippian1861]

I've seen reference to a member of the 5th Ohio Battery mentioning that members of Cumming's Georgia Brigade were wearing undyed jeans uniforms during the siege, does anyone have the exact quote?

It was in the diary of Lt. Anthony B. Burton of that battery, from "Lt. Anthony B. Burton's Account of the Activities of the 5th Battery, Ohio Light Artillery, at Vicksburg." Edited by Edwin C. Bearss, in Louisiana Studies, volume 10 (Winter 1971).

That journal was published in Natchitoches...
