actually civil war balloons were mostly gas filled and not hot air - they were filled with hydrogen - the balloons were made mostly from silk - the belief that they were made from donated womens silk dresses is a myth although they were made from dress silk
civil war balloons definitely were highly volitile, filled with gas,, example the hindenbergh blimp, filled with helium gas. now I believe General Mc Dowell served America and was able to convey exact troop movements to President Lincoln
Three of them were made and not much by way of what happened to them but I am sure They were manufactured by sewing animal skin.. leather to be exact, laced with a congealing compound to treat the leather.
