M-1861 FORAGE CAP-The
US forage cap pattern of 1861 (made famous by General Irwin McDowell)
replaced the Model 1858. It features the round sloping crescent shaped leather brim, and shares the

This
cap was often
called the "Bummer’s cap", because so many of General Sherman’s men wore
them on the March to the Sea.
