Georgia - Early Civil War Uniforms


Edgefield Rangers.

This company of mounted men paraded near Hamburg yesterday afternoon. Their uniform is of gray cloth, with black trimmings—the hat surmounted with a blue pampoon [sic]. We noticed several of the members in our streets after the parade was over.
