Daniel J. Miller, a retired police officer with 42 years’ service, has been collecting and researching American Zouave units for over fifty years. He lives in Caro, Michigan.“Miller has taken the study of the Zouave and his uniform to an almost finite degree. Its release represents an even more important milestone in our understanding of this oft baggy-trousered warrior in his flamboyant uniform. ... highly recommended and will become an essential reference work.”—<i>Military Images</i>
The elite French Zouaves, with their distinctive, colorful uniforms, set an influential example for volunteer soldiers during the Civil War and continued to inspire American military units for a century. Hundreds of militia companies adopted the flamboyant uniform to emulate the gallantry and martial tradition of the Zouaves.
Drawing on fifty years of research, this volume provides a comprehensive state-by-state catalog of American Zouave units, richly illustrated with rare and previously unpublished photographs and drawings. The author dispels many misconceptions and errors that have persisted over the last 150 years.
