Description
Non Regulation Canvas Haversack Used by a Maine Infantryman. Typical of many state-issued haversacks, this simply-made example is manufactured from unpainted white canvas and measures about 11" x 11". The top flap is closed by one eagle "I" button and the body was made without any lining. Overall, the canvas has a pleasing light brown patina and is very sound. The strap is boldly stenciled "BENJ. LIBBY,/WARREN, Me./Co.B.24th, Me. Regt." Private Libby enlisted in this nine-month regiment in October, 1862 and mustered out in August, 1863. The unit served in New Orleans and participated in the siege of Port Hudson, La. A nice example of an historic piece of equipment.Auction Info
