"The Illustrated Directory of Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment of the Civil War" Edited by David Miller

I was at a Half Price Books in Indianapolis recently, and I found this great treasure.  David Miller put out the book, "The Illustrated Directory of Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment of the Civil War" back in 2001- so this one is coming up on 2 decades old!  AND, Miller is BRITISH!

Anyway, David Miller REALLY did an amazing job with this small book (Its over 450 pages long, but is made pocket sized- if you had a baggy pocket).  There are TONS of great, color photos of actual weapons and uniforms.  PLUS, there are a lot of VERY WELL DONE drawings.  As a figure painter, this is going to be a great resource.

This is the kind of book I will be keeping handy....  This is now one of my favorite reference books and I can easily say that it gets my highest possible recommendation!  I wish I had come across it sooner!
