Hi all, the following was posted on a forum I belong to. I am posting it because there may be members here that would be interested in attending. It is being held at the Kenosha WI Civil War Museum.

New class in kenosha, Illinois, the early regiments 1861 1862 and the Illinois state jacket
ILLINOIS, THE EARLY REGIMENTS, 1861-1862
Class #0620606203 $15 ($10 FOM)
Saturday, April 9 1:00-2:30 pm
Instructor: Tom Arliskas LOCATION: CWM
In the first year of the Civil War, the federal government could
not supply its soldiers with the amount of uniforms and
equipment needed. Illinois, like the other states, stepped in to
equip volunteers. Author Tom Arliskas presents a collection of
notes and photos on the history, weapons, accoutrements,
and uniforms supplied to the 7th thru 22nd Illinois, with a
special presentation on the Illinois State Contract Jacket.
