Frederic George D’Utassy’s Garibaldi Guards “staged a minor mutiny over being issued M1842 muskets rather than the rifles they expected.” There was also friction over pay, the diverse backgrounds of the soldiers, and inept officers. (Don Troiani’s Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War; Stackpole Books 2002)
