“[Hardtack was] positively incorrect fodder for anything that claims to be human…and I think it no exaggeration to mention that any intelligent pig possessing the least spark of pride would have regarded as it a pure insult to have them put into his swill.” (Wilbur Fisk, Civil War soldier). We all know the uniforms they wore, the weapons they carried, and the battles they fought, but what did they eat and, of even greater curiosity, used to be it any good? Now, for the first actual time, the food that fueled the armies of the North and the South and the soldiers’ opinions of it–ranging from the sublime to just slime–is front and center in a biting, fascinating have a look at the Civil War as written by considered one of its most respected historians. There may be even a comprehensive “cookbook” of actual recipes included for those intrepid enough to check out a taste of the Civil War.
