Synopsis
Excerpt from Army Uniforms of the World
The Study of the changes which have occurred in the garb of the fighting man, and of the devices used to designate his leaders, from the days of the bow and arrow to those of the magazine rifle, should appeal to all persons interested in the history of mankind; and it is the purpose of this little work to treat this subject in such a manner that it may, it is hoped, prove helpful to those who might wish to learn something of the dress of the soldier in the different periods of history.
The author has spent a number of years collecting the data used in this book, much of it being obtained only after extensive search in such vast literary storehouses as the reading room of the British Museum in London, and the public libraries of Washington, New York, and Boston.
