Not just another Confederate post...but
I personally don't like the whole Confederate thing (even though I too have relatives who foght on that side), and always get smug when I see posts, or people who want sooo bad for there to be a kilted Confederate unit, etc. You all know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I'm vacationing in Atlanta where I'm originally from and during this trip, I made a quick jaunt to see my cranky Scottish connection (grandpa) and grandmother in Nashville. While there, we passed some building and through the window of one was a display of some Civil War thing and there were MANY tin types displayed. Some of the pics were copies and blw ups of tin types, and 2 of these, the soldiers were wearing trews. I could not see in detail as both soldiers were sitting and the focus began to blur at the lap and knee, but there was tartan of that I'm sure. I don't have any info past what I saw. Is there any account of a unit wearing trews, or is this a case where people were wearing pants that they had in normal life that doubled as military pants?
