I know most of you who read this are digging out from the latest dump of snow and any thought of summer is a vague glimmer of hope in the future. As I was going through the Co. B 2nd USSS (NSSA) website his morning, I found they linked to the Historic Animation Station product site. The HAS have created a number of attractive Civil War commemorative T-shirts; and one of the nicest-in my opinion-is devoted to Berdan Sharpshooters. The shirt features CDV of Berdan (1863), 1889 Survivors medal, period broadsides, cap and equipment. The design is very tastefully laid out and the cost for the shirts is a very reasonable $11 to $12.50 (for XX large).
So, for those of you who want to step out this summer wearing a T-shirt that proudly proclaims your favorite Sharpshooters, wheather tromping the battlefields, ball fields or shopping mall (with the wife); this might be the T-shirt for you.
