Can you give me more information about the "Red Strings" during the civil war/recommend sources?

some family history I'm looking to followup on. a wikipedia page for those who are interested

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Strings

(for some reason i thought it was called a red sash before wikipedia suggested this name so any help there would also be appreciated).

Do you mean Red Legs?
