About the Book

The common image of the Confederate Army during the Civil War is dominated by a limited number of early photographs of troops wearing the gray and butternut of the CS regulations and quartermaster issues. By contrast, this book examines the variety of uniforms worn by the Tennessee and North Carolina militia and volunteers brought together in the Confederate field armies, and the continuing efforts to clothe them as wear-and-tear gradually reduced this wide range of uniforms. A mass of information from contemporary documents is illustrated with rare early photographs and meticulous color reconstructions.

About the Author :
Ron Field is Head of History at the Cotswold School in Bourton-on-the-Water. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in 1982 and taught history at Piedmont High School in California from 1982 to 1983. Associate editor of the Confederate Historical Society of Great Britain, from 1983 to 1992, he is an internationally acknowledged expert on US military history, and was elected a Fellow of the Company of Military Historians in 2005. Richard Hook was born in 1938 and trained at Reigate College of Art. After national service with 1st Bn, Queen's Royal Regiment, he became art editor of the much-praised magazine Finding Out during the 1960s. He has worked as a freelance illustrator ever since, earning an international reputation particularly for his knowledge of Native American material culture.

Review :
"Written by Ron Field and lavishly illustrated with Richard Hook's watercolors, this book is a worthy addition to the Osprey family... All in all, The Confederate Army 1861-85 (5) Tennessee and North Carolina maintains the tradition of excellence we have come to expect from Osprey, and is well worth the modest investment." --Scott Mingus, Charge! (November 5, 2007) "Ron Field's The Confederate Army 1861-65: Tennessee & North Carolina is for any collection strong in Civil War history in general and Confederate history in particular. Chapters survey uniforms worn by these volunteers, equipment, and field army experiences, with vintage black and white photos complimenting color illustrations throughout." --The California Bookwatch (January 2008) "Author Ron Field, a noted United States military expert, has studied hundreds of period letters, newspapers, and other documents to vividly describe these early troops and further documents his findings with actual photographs and individual images throughout the work. Included are plates made from original color illustrations by artist Richard Hook, based on Field's research and documentation. Together the two men portray the contrast between the colorful units of the early war and the usual 'gray and butternut' units of the later war." --North Carolina Historical Review (January 2009) "A very useful informative book for the ACW period in classic Osprey quality and a good reference for modellers with color illustrations. Highly Recommended." --Engin Kayral, Historicus Forma (November 2007) "A book that rightly belongs on the shelf of any US Civil War enthusiast and one that provides a bit more insight into what is called the first modern war. Highly recommended." --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (January 2008)
