Civil War Sibley Tent- Large

The Sibley tent was an American conical military shelter patented by Henry Hopkins Sibley before the Civil War. Its distinctive central support and circular footprint allowed a group of soldiers to share covered accommodation. Both Union and Confederate armies used conical tents, although field conditions often forced troops to improvise simpler shelter. The tent belongs to the history of camps, sanitation, heating, and supply rather than to a specific fighting regiment. Ventilation and the use of a central stove influenced comfort and safety in cold weather. Large camp shelters were less convenient for a soldier carrying equipment on a rapid march.
