A diverse group of men in historical settler and indigenous clothing, some with turbans and rifles, standing in a forest.

What they wore: • Settler Clothing: Most wore standard button-down shirts, waistcoats (vests), and trousers similar to the Black and White soldiers. • Buckskin/Leather: It was common to see buckskin leggings or moccasins instead of leather boots, as these were quieter and more durable for scouting in the "river bottoms." • The "Cherokee Look": Many wore a turban-style headpiece made of silk or cotton cloth, or a felt slouch hat often decorated with a feather or a specific beadwork band to identify their tribal affiliation.
