Re: 8th Michigan Infantry - Daniel W. Keyes Jr. ??

I have seen a photograph of what might be the Zouave uniform of the Elder Zouaves. It came from Michael McAfee’s collection. I am however a bit skeptical of this. I can not find where it came from, but have information that a post Civil War company in Michigan by the same name. The Civil War era 8th Regiment was issued a 5-button jacket and trousers made by Samuel Sykes (Detroit) soon after enlisting.I have never found information that Zouave uniforms were obtained at a later date. The 8th Regiment was suppose to receive some of the chasseur uniforms purchased in France, but never did.
