Uniform of Charles Wentworth Roberts
Colonel, 2^nd Maine Volunteer Infantry, Circa 1862

This Frock Coat is a classic example of an officer who could afford the best that money could buy. Made by a famed and exclusive New York tailor and having only the finest appointments, it now stands in mute testimony to Robert’s wealth. The coat has Tiffany and Co. buttons, ultra fine velvet Colonel’s shoulder Straps and a luxurious baldric, bearing the emblem of the state of Maine.

Roberts commanded the 2^nd Maine through out the 1862 campaign in Virginia. He later became a Brevet Brigadier General. In terms of quality, this is the finest coat in the collection.
