Description

1889 1st ed Civil War Soldier Hardtack & Coffee Army Life Illustrated Biography

‘Hardtack and Coffee’ is one of the few books to give a vivid, detailed picture of what ordinary soldiers endured every day in camp during the American Civil War. John D. Billings of Massachusetts enlisted in the Army of the Potomac and survived the conditions he recorded. Charles W. Reed, a fellow soldier, made sketches of their experiences in the field. ‘Hardtack and Coffee’ is the story of how the Civil War soldier was recruited, provisioned, and disciplined. It quickly became a best seller and is now considered one of the most important books written by a Civil War veteran.

“The Best Source for the army life and feelings of a federal soldier; this delightfully written and humorously illustrated work has rightfully become a classic.” (Nevins)
