Litter Bearers in GA.

[Charles Weathers]

Sorry I didnt mean to ignore your post, I missed it.

to answer your questions.

I am in South GA, near FL.

I do a lot of North GA things like Resaca, Tunnle Hill, stuff liek that in the mainstream side. CPH stuff i do all over.

I would mostly use this impression for places I think warrants it's use in the historical context (as in we know they were used and not specualting). Lh programs and the like.

No prob! I was just hoping you would attend some events that I do!

Joey,

To purchase some of your supplies ready made, contact Tim Kindred through this board. He has a stock of well-researched items, including bandages, tourniquets, armbands, labels and such like. Some will be appropriate for your Western theatre impression, others won't--and Tim will be quick to tell you.

In the course of doing some some sewing for him last year, Tim sent me a number of examples of his label work, all of which have proved useful to us.

Now, I'm curious on a couple of points. 1/8 th of a pound of lint? That's a heck of a lot of lint, as the stuff can be big on volume and small on weight--what source are you drawing from that wants the litter bearers to have this much?

And Noah? All I've ever seen on lint wanted me to get it from LINEN, not cotton muslin. Are we talking 'reasonable price substitute here' or a different documentation source?

Making proper lint has got to be THE most boring job in all the world. I worked down a couple of yards of good linen over a span of years. It is however, a sit-down job in the shade, which is more than can be said for most 19th century jobs.
