 New to reenacting and will be attending my first event soon as a Union Soldier.  

At the risk of being called a "FARB" not sure if just a gum blanket and wool blanket are going to cut it for sleeping at night, at least for me!

My question is did Union Soldiers use quilts or other period bedding combined with their issue bedding? 

 It would seem like quilts sent from home and other comforts would be the norm.
