Doyle, I recall reading accounts of Confederates outfitting themselves with U.S. Army uniforms captured during Steele's Camden Expedition, and one account stated that the Confederates at Longview mistook the Union cavalry for Confederate cavalry dressed in captured uniforms, and thus were taken prisoner before they realized their mistake.

If I remember correctly (not an entirely safe assumption at my age), the Ashley County Ledger published an account of the affair at Longview some 10-15 years ago or so.
