Civil War Talk Radio - April 17th 2024

Shae Smith Cox, author of The Fabric of Civil War Society: Uniforms, Badges, and Flags, 1859-1939. Gerry's Monologue - This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...Way back in 2011, I looked forward to reading a newly published bestseller that I thought would make a great topic for this show, it was called “50 Shades of Grey,” but to my intense disappointment it turned out to be an erotic romance that had nothing at all to say about variations and Confederate military uniform manufacturing. Tonight, happily, you finally have the thoughtful study of uniforms and their meaning that I thought we were getting 15 years ago. It's called ”The Fabric of Civil War Society: Uniforms, Badges, and Flags, 1859–1939”. The author is Professor Shae Smith Cox, and she'll talk with us tonight on Civil War Talk Radio.”
