...When my regiment was organized that spring, there were no two companies who had uniforms alike. It was some time after the war began that the Confederacy adopted any particular style of uniform. The color was universally gray, but the cut of the cloth varied materially. We were a motley-looking set, but as a rule, comfortably dressed. In my company we had about four different shades of gray, but the trimmings were all of black braid....The citizens of Austin and surrounding neighborhood bought the cloth.
