Here are descriptions of more than 800 different items used by soldiers, sailors, marines on both sides…the things for personal comfort as well as the conduct of the war.

Through these pages the Civil War and the men who fought it become more meaningful and personal to teachers, students, collectors, buffs…anyone who likes to dip into the past.”
