The Atlanta History Center has one identified to a soldier in the 18th Ga. Another knapsack in private hands is identified to a soldier in the 8th La. This famous image of Thomas Taylor in the 8th LA seems to show him wearing one. There are several identified to confederate soldiers in private hands and in museums. The flap has a pocket that is accessible from the inside. It is somewhat unique in design in that there are side straps so the blanket roll is horseshoe shaped and wraps around three sides of the knapsack. Is is constructed of painted cloth on a wood frame with leather straps. This knapsack is a very nice example of a knapsack used in america.
