I had actually read this book (from the library) before I bought it. The last 3 or 4 years I have been going into schools and talking about the American Civil War. Last year at one of the presentations I changed things up a bit and set up a "camp" and had the students come outside to visit that. During that time I found that I really wasn't sure on a lot of thing about how the soldiers actually lived. Figuring I needed to learn more to be sure I was giving correct information I decided to read this. It gave me a lot more incite than I had and wanted to make sure I had a copy that I could refer back to. Another book along the same lines is called Hardtack and Coffee which I might have even liked a little bit more. It was actually written by a soldier who served during the Civil War and talks very plainly about the life of a soldier during the war.Read full review
