Looking for a good illustrated book on civil war uniforms

No... from an antique perspective maybe but Bannerman was a salesman who nevber let the truth get in the way of a good sale.

The point being, his catalog pictures about every CW uniform, gun, button, etc. ever made....How he sold them back then doesn't concern me.

The problem is that some of those pics are 50-75 years removed from manufacture and can be misleading. It's a good book and a useful reference but it's accuracy has often been called into doubt.
