Abstract: This article examines available clothing returns for the 12th South Carolina
Volunteer Infantry of the Gregg/McGowan/Perrin Brigade of the Army of Northern
Virginia. Clothing requisitions for all 10 companies have been found, with some
estimated to have been lost since the American Civil War. Returns for personal clothing
during the 2nd Quarter of 1863 (April 1-June 30) only have been analyzed. Ordnance
items, camp furniture, and other issued equipment may be treated at a later time by the
author. The examination of clothing indicates a general level of adequate supply, with a
majority of the regiment having been issued several items.
