Confederate Commutation System - Vol. VI, Epsiode 19

In this episode, it is time to explore the Confederate States of America’s commutation supply system. What is the commutation system? It was the way the Confederate Government tried to supply clothing to the volunteer soldiers in the field. This clothing system is often referenced but is often misunderstood. Learn more of what it was, how it was supposed to work, how it really worked out, and what that means for the living historians impressions. Plus, take this opportunity to see images of a rare Confederate original grouping of clothing and equipment – all related to one man! Thank you to the Michigan’s GAR Memorial Hall and Museum for providing the location for this episode.
