Based on an illustration from Don Troiani's Civil War Zouaves, Chasseurs, Special Branches & Officers:
"(Col. Lew)Wallace, a devout Christian who later wrote the novel Ben Hur, wanted 'nothing of the flashy, Algerian colors' in his regiment. Instead, the 11th wore a conservative gray modified Zouave garb..." "...later the regiment received blue replacement Zouave uniforms of an entirely different style"..
