This is the uniform he was wearing when he was killed at the battle of franklin in 1864. It is also the one he is wearing in the photograph there. Some of that is battle damage, but most of it is insect damage. Its the first we have been able to display it. It is the first it has ever been on display since his family gave it to us.
