I imagine some of you have heard of the kilted (at first) 79th New York Volunteers of the American Civil War. They marched off to war in Cameron of Erracht kilts and later trews.

Any of you Johnnie Rebs know anything of southern regiments that, at least in the early flamboyant days of the war, paraded around in kilts? I read once that, just as both sides had French inspired Zouave units, there where "highland" regiments both North and South.

With reference to my subject line, we're too late for this year but if y'all wear your Lost Cause Memorial Tartans, I'll wear my Cameron and we can shake hands at Appomattox next April 9th. (or we could shoot spit balls at each other at Fort Sumter a couple of days later!)
