Uniform 17th Milita Regiment (Scottish Guard) or (Highland Guard)South Carolina (Charleston)
Frederick Todds book American Military Equipage 1851 1872 Volume 2 State Forces Page 1162 Fig 364 shows the following:- a line drawing of a soldier in full kilt and plaid waearing a scottish feather bonnet and another in frock coat trousers with a shoulder plaid and a scottish feather bonnet.
I have been trying for quite a few years to find out what tartan the Charleston units wore between the very early 1800's and 1861 without success can anyone help. If you e-mail me I can send an attachment with the drawing.
