In Response To: Civil War Uniforms ()

The soldiers were able to keep thier uniforms. They usually had no civilian clothes. Unfortunally most were so dirty upon arriving home the women folk would not let them in the front door until they bathed and changed. I read one account where the soldier hung his uniform in the smoke house and there it stayed until it rotted.
