20A (top) "Uniforms and types of the American Army. The two figures on the right are the United States Regulars. They wear a blouse of dark blue cloth fastened with five buttons down the front and three small buttons on each sleeve. The trousers are a lighter shade of blue cloth and perfectly plain; leggtings of brown canvas; gray felt campaign hat. A thimble or web belt contains cartridges for the Krag-Jorgensen rifle carried by these troops. Over the left shoulder is slung the blue woolen blanket. On the left side also is suspended the haversack to contain rations and eating utensils. The knife-bayonet may also be seen on this side, while on the right are the water bottle and tin cup. The bugler in this picture is easily recognized as a volunteer by his state uniform, having two white stripes on each leg of trousers, belt-plate with the letters N.Y., and Marion pack. In other respects his uniform is similar to that of the regulars."
