The Confederate Army 1861-65: Florida, Alabama & Georgia, By Ron Field
Photo., Page 9.
"The Auburn Guards from Montgomery, formed in 1860, became part of the 2nd Alabama Volunteer Regiment. Their full dress uniform was a dark blue coatee with three rows of buttons, gold epaulettes, and white or sky-blue trim on collar and cuffs; dark blue trousers with light-colored seam stripes, and a black cap with a red-over-white fountain plume. Here Capt George W. Dixon, the first commander of the unit, stands at right, while the other officer is Lt Henry Dickson Capers. Both wear full dres; note the wreathed letters "AG" on the front of their caps." (Alabama Dept of Archives & History, Montgomery, Alabama.)
