108: The Civil War - Life in the Field for Billy Yank and Johnny Reb

In this episode we will return to our mini-series on the
experiences of ordinary soldiers with a focus on camp life, food,
and recreation. For a majority of the men who served, military
life was foreign. Experiences in camp and training molded these
men into soldiers. Thankfully, due to a rise in literacy, we have
a rich tapestry of memoirs, letters, and diaries that tell the
stories of service. Take a listen!
