I got the book by Jeff Dugdale.
The book is very interesting and shows how the author has conducted a thorough search of the argument, you get a precise idea of the uniform worn by a regiment in a given period. The book is divided into quarters and at the end of each quarter there is a rich documentation of letters and images.
Personally I have never believed in the legend of the Confederate soldier ragged, I looked for information on the subject for a long time and I am convinced that, except for the long campaigns when obviously there was insufficient spare parts, the Confederate soldier was always well dressed (separate discussion for shoes), Dugdale's book has strengthened my conviction.
