The next installment of the “Arms & Uniforms” subseries is here! In it, we look at a particular unit from the Civil War and explore how their arms and uniforms changed throughout the war and the impact that this had on the men.

Now it is time to meet the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry of the famous Union Iron Brigade. Their story spans from 1st Bull Run in 1861 to the Grand Review in 1865 along with almost every major eastern theater battle in between. Lets learn how their uniforms, weapons, and equipment evolved through this long term of service.
