Description
Fine Tarred Canvas Knapsack Worn by a Reluctant Ohio Soldier. This example is in exceptional condition, retaining all the exterior shoulder and blanket straps. The interior has an additional set of narrow tan leather straps, perhaps designed to hold an overcoat, and a smaller bag that is suspended along the flap. Neatly penned inside the flap is "A Beaudroi/Comp H 24th Regt O.V.I./ from/ Cleveland/Ohio." The records show that Andreas Beaudroit, a native of Switzerland, served as a wagoner in Co. H, 24th Ohio enlisting in May 1861. On May 25, 1862 he went on furlough to Cleveland and never returned. A supple and sturdy example of a classic piece of equipment.Auction Info
