I was wondering if anyone knew if Company I of the 57th Infantry had a nick name. So many of the units seem to have one….. at least the ones recruited early in the war did. As the 57th was a late unit - 1863 - and filled mostly with those somewhat reluctant to serve I am wondering if that type of thing might not have been done. Company I was from Dale County.

Also I wonder if the unit was outfitted by the state with standardized uniforms and weapons - and what they might have been.
