In 1861 officers were permitted to acquire mounted enlisted men's overcoats. This was no problem for the peacetime army, but in wartime it made targets of the officers. The regulation overcoat for officers was a dark blue while that for the enlisted men was light blue.

The Union Army fielded 25 corps, each designated with a roman numeral, i.e., IX Corps. Corps with added divisions used green for the fourth and orange for the fifth divisions. Butterfield also designated that each division in the corps should have a variation of the corps badge in a different color generally red for the first division, white for the second division and blue for the third division.

The palate showed nothing but bitter, stewed prunes and balsamic vinegar with lots of charred, burnt notes. Nose had lots of volatile acidity, but otherwise reminded me of a sharp, very ripe high-alc Zin - not necessarily a bad thing, if you're into that style. I received a bottle of this tbrough the winery's wine club - opened it last night. on the medium bodied palate, ground pepper with lighter, sweet, red fruits, leather to a continued dry, tannic finish. Juicy coloring, with a powerful nose of cherry licorice, herbs, and some woodys earth notes. a bit tannic & upfront, though very smooth through the grainy finish, very bordeaux like in style. Very smooth and delicate, with a delicate floral nose of plum, black currants & some earthy nuances.
