American History



The Evolution of the United States Army Uniform, published by LionHeart FilmWorks and Ancient Wardrobe a few months ago is rapidly going viral with well over a million views. Thevideo tells the story of the military uniform all the way back into the 17th century once the first organized militias were formed that could later develop into the United States Army.

LionHeart FilmWorks and its sister company Historical Wardrobe created the film. According to Kevin R. Hershberger, founder and President of both companies, it was an ambitious project that no-one has ever attempted before in this manner.

"This video is a combined effort by both companies and teams in our quest and passion to create historical content with an almost obsessive degree of historical accuracy and attention to detail," says Hershberger. "We covered 400 years of history, so I think that's something to be proud of!"

It gives the viewer a fascinating glimpse of 23 distinct fashions of apparel -- the uniforms, weapons, and accoutrements -- which were worn with the U.S. army soldier as far back as the 1620s. The video is actually the first in a string that LionHeart FilmWorks and Ancient Wardrobe are likely on the topic of historical U.S. military uniforms.

Hershberger believes that the movie may be particularly relevant this month due to Armed Forces Day on May 19th, that observes present members of the U.S. military, and Memorial Day on May 28th, which observes members of the U.S. military who have given their lives in service to this country.
