Heritage Costumes Exclusive.
During the American Revolution, Continental soldiers were the core of the American Revolutionary war effort. These were the men that General Washington and Congress depended most upon. ... The Continental infantryman had equipment that was like that of their counterpart the British soldier.
Equipment for both the Continental Army Soldier and British Redcoat was a necessity for survival. One of the most important pieces of equipment was the Haversack which was also sometimes referred to as a Knapsack. This commonly used item was a must by 18th-century travelers and soldiers to carry food and personal gear. Our bag measures 12" tall and is 10" wide, with a strap that is 2" wide and 50'' long, it also has a gusseted bottom. The flap has a double thickness of fabric for extra strength, with the flap open it measures 16''x12''. The flap has a natural horn button which is used to keep your stored items safe during travel.
