Selena, You might want to check with your local or nearby Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans to see if they might do living histories or can help guide you to a group that does. The groups of people who do them are most times very willing to help out because it helps further educate people about how life was, especially camp life, during these times. Good luck to you and I DO hope you'll be able to find a group to help you. Edward

There is a group out there that does only Civil War knitting patterns from the books/magazines of the time period. These lady's have reverted the "Old" instructions for the modern knitter to make it easier to do. They even have pictures to show the finished item.

Well it turns out that there are several sites with good stuff. One is Knitting for the Cause by Vickie Rumble and another one called Everyone his Own Knitting Needles by Colleen Formby. Sorry that I didn't jot down the URLS but I think that they would be easy to find again via Google. Then I bought a couple of patterns from http://www.lulu.com/browse/book_view.php?fCID=91465 and Once Upon a Pattern It is amazing how much there is to buy for anyone interested in authentic Civil War anything! marsha in WV Carol Botteron wrote: > At 1:29 PM -0400 5/30/06, marsha moses wrote: > >> I did a google search just after I pushed send a found a site that >> answers my question.

I did a google search just after I pushed send a found a site that answers my question. Sorry that I didn't do a bit of research on my own question before I asked...if anyone would like for me to share the information, give a yell. Marsha in WV

I know that some of you are involved with reenactments and etc...Does anyone have any ideas if there is a place where I can find knitting patterns for socks that were knitted by the women at home for the soldiers who were fighting? I would like to find patterns and yarn that would be authentic for the time period. I would like to volunteer for a reenactment in my community --knitting socks that are authentic. Thanks in advance for anyone who can give me ideas of where to look for these things. Marsha in WV

Today I ran across something in H.E. Matheny's Wood County, WV, in Civil War Times, published in 1987 by Trans-Allegheny Books, Inc, Parkersburg. p. 285, he quoted from Thomas F. Wildes, REcord of the 116th Regiment Ohio Infantry Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion, pp. 21-24: "On Septmeber 22, 1862, Preisdent LIncoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation, 'That on the first day of 1863, all slaves. . . were to be free'. "Many officers resigned, declaring they would no logner serve in an aboliton war. Ohio had always been weak in its belief of slavery abolition and in the October election, many of the Northern States, including OHio, seemed to manifest their disapproval of the Proclamation. . . "The feeling ran so high, and discussion became so bitter and hostile in the Army of the Potomac that General McClellan issued orders forbidding discussion of the Proclamation. Other Army Commanders found it necessary to follow his example." I still don't know if this is the "President's late proclamation" or not. . . but maybe I am getting closer. Joy
