Merriam pack adopted by New York Militia to replace knapsack
The Merriam pack, adopted by New York's militia for the state guard, replaces the old knapsack. About 15,000 were purchased after testing at the Peekskill state camp. First worn by the Twenty first Troy company amid initial criticism, officers praised its convenience and hip-weight design, though soldiers found its many parts cumbersome. The pack carries helmet, outer garments, blanket, and shoes outside, with a multi-pocket haversack for utensils and rations, and can also serve as a pillow.
