Was reading over this book on Google book search. Interesting information on uniforming the pre war volunteer militias. Most importantly, i think; is that it gives total numbers gear and supplies given out by both the state armories as well as the predominatly female aid societies formed in South Carolina.

Thanks for the info, I noticed the part on Pg. 17 where the State of S.C. was issuing a plain 6 button jacket into late 1863, being replaced by the 5 button Charleston Depot jacket in 1864. The question is when exactly the Charleston Depot started making jackets, and did the brigade get the State jacket or the Charleston Jacket when they were completely refitted in the fall of '63?
