For Freedom and Union. Saltville, Virginia. October 2, 1864.
On a cold Virginia morning, the men of the 5th U.S. Colored Cavalry rode into battle at Saltville — not just for the Union, but for something far more personal: their own freedom and the freedom of every person who looked like them. This tribute tee carries that date, that name, and that weight on its chest. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t need to.
Printed sharp on a durable 100% polyester blank, this is a shirt for the student of history who understands that some stories deserve to be worn — at battlefield visits, museum events, reenactments, or simply as a daily reminder that courage took many forms in 1864. A regular fit that settles in fast, a tagless construction that disappears against your skin, and a ribbed collar that holds its shape through every wash.
