The Jefferson Guard (local, from Jefferson County) wore this blue uniform…
While other local militia wore something more along this line…
But then, looking at Strother’s sketch from Halltown, it appears there was more of an assortment, with civilian-looking attire being rather dominant… at least around 5 p.m.

Purty uniforms. I’ve always thought the state National Guards (heirs to the militia tradition) lost something when they gave up their militia duds in favor of drab U.S. Army wear.

Yep, that blue one is really sharp…

Gotta love the Dry Goods Store!
Wish I’d seen you while you were in town. I was over in White Hall Tavern, portraying Alfred Barbour and chatting with folks about the definitions of treason.

Oh, bummer! Wish I would have known you were there!
