American Civil War Reenacting and pipes.
I know there has to be more than one reenactor on this site. If so, what's your unit? What events are you headed to this season, and what's your pipe of choice out in the field?

One of his books is: Tobacco and Smoking Among the Blue and Gray.The Illustrated History of An American Folk-Art Curiosity.The Civil War Soldier's Tobacco Pipe.
Something else I found interesting was this link:

It discusses a wooden pipe which was carried in a silver plated case. It is from the Civil War. Apparently Union General Burnsides provided a testimonial for the Ridgeway Pipe that was used in advertising.

I would have used something like a Speed Graphic or 4x5 View Camera with a Polaroid back and the old 55P/N film if it was available.
