History Hour: To Dress the Whole Army

Wednesday, September 9 · 2 PM – 3 PM · Purcellville Library

About

During the Revolutionary War, one of Washington's biggest challenges was keeping his army clothed and uniformed. Cut off from British manufacturing, the Continental Army relied on a variety of sources, resulting in uniforms in nearly every color and style. Shaw explores the variety of uniforms worn during the Revolution, as well as the research and techniques involved in recreating them.
