Pvt. Solomon Canright's Civil War diary included this list of uniform prices that soldiers paid for their clothing. Many of the men ran a tab with the company clerk, and had their total purchases deducted from their final military pay. It was common for a soldier in the 28th Wisconsin to have charged a total of $30.00 to $50.00 worth of clothing and accessories for their three years of service. Pvt. Canright copied this information while at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, exact date unknown.
