hhbooker2 Posted March 10, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2008 "GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!" The 1864 "Illustrated Catalogue of Arms & Goods" by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham showed some really fine line drawings of the shoulder straps for officers which indicated their ranks from Second Lieutenant to General-in-Chief, the latter was called Lieutenant General when full Generaql with four stars was created by the U.S. Congress for U.S. Grant. Here are some of the pages of those wonderful drawings. ENJOY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
