	Missouri State Guard
		If you've read the history of the Missouri State Guard then you know that the key to portraying the MSG is to look like a civilian.
		One union soldier at Carthage described the Guard as having "no uniforms, being entirely clad in the homespun butternut jeans worn by every Missouri farmer in those days." Appropriate fabrics are wool broadcloth in solids, stripes, checks, and plaids, jean cloth (cotton jean or wool jean were common), linen, cashmere, and corduroy.
		Not much evidence exists as to the nature of the canteens carried by the Guard, but it is probably safe to assume that the typical Guardsman carried either a pre-war wooden drum canteen or some other device such as a canteen made from a gourd.
