This would include the cost of making it yourself, or the cost of having one made by a seamstress.

It was quite surprising for us girls to read about another girl growing up without some simple things like sugar because of a war. It is one of my first memories of learning about the Civil War.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-55998443347551783472012-01-04T12:55:29.099-05:002012-01-04T12:55:29.099-05:00Thanks Ken, I added a bit more to make it more cle...Thanks Ken, I added a bit more to make it more clear. The prices were typically from Union men traveling in the south as it is seemingly impossible to find a Confederate standard. <br /><br />Northern prices don't seem to vary too much during the war. If you look at period advertisement in books, things are a little more expensive but not by much.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-19587006731150777342012-01-04T11:07:02.984-05:002012-01-04T11:07:02.984-05:00Excellent article!

I have a little - - I suppose I should go through my books and list all the prices I have found.<br />Anyhow, thanks for the post!Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.com
