Don Troiani's Civil War Infantry (Don Troiani's Civil War Series)

In the world of historical painting, Don Troiani stands alone, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and detail of his depictions of America's past. In Don Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War, first released in 2002, the artist turned his brush to the units and uniforms of the War between the States. Through Troiani's careful reconstructions and the accompanying text, the book offers one of the most comprehensive looks at Civil War uniforms ever undertaken. In addition to the full volume in hard cover, Stackpole Books now presents four handsome, individually bound paperbacks, each covering different branches of service and types of soldier.The outcome of nearly every major battle of the war depended on infantry, the foot soldiers in blue and gray who wielded the muskets and sabers. Although some standardization existed, soldiers often modified their uniforms to meet battlefield necessity or to express unit pride, such as the Pennsylvania regiment known by the bucktails troops wore in their hats. The photographs in this volume indicate what infantrymen wore and carried, and Troiani's paintings bring the men and their deeds to vivid life.

Don Troiani’s art work on the Civil War is absolutely second-to-none. The scenes and depictions that Troiani displays are widely known and loved, and this specific book on Civil War Infantrymen is a great addition to your Civil War collection. I already bought Don Troiani’s Civil War collection book, which focuses more on battles and scenes than this work, but this is a terrific addition to anyone trying to understand individual soldiers and units.Civil War Infantry is a good, if not great guide for gaining a better understanding of individual soldiers during the war, and Troiani’s colors and settings enhance the pictures to add life and character to an already impressive art piece. The main issue with this work is that it is relatively short and concise. I am assuming this is because they want you to buy the other volumes in the collection, but they could have easily compiled several together to make a more fulfilling and encompassing purchase. This is a minor gripe to be certain, but it does take away ever so slightly from the incredible product that you receive with this book. Though short and sweet, the pictures are well developed and depicted; the scenes are intelligent and engaging, and the colors are eye-popping and vibrant. All this adds up to an incredible collection of some of the finest Civil War art you have ever seen.This is a most worthy addition to any Civil War fan’s collection and, I am positive that in no way could you be disappointed with this work. This is a great reference on specific units and men during the war, but just remember that it is short and to the point. Good collection overall though.

This a good reference although a short one about the Infantry in the civil war. I was hoping to see uniforms that are not always seen in photos of the period and this, unfortunately, did not have what I was seeking. I do recommend it for the information it does present. The artwork is outstanding.

In my opinion the finest artist in his milieu of the American civil war. A master of light and shadow, and a great understanding of how to covey motion onto the canvas

Not only facts and beautiful pictures but also an enjoyable read ; for the historian , the gamer, the modeler and a broad public.

His works are great and very accurate.
