Soldiers at Home and Shiloh Tales of Civil War Life
Veterans recount camp hardships foraging and marching, craftsmen in the Union army, improvised medicine sales by two men, battlefield quirks at Shiloh, surgeons and nurses aiding wounded, and grim burial rites. A Indiana monuments visit recalls a near miss, with vivid memories of hospital tents and a wary Garfield. The Fifty fifth Illinois volunteers under Captain Crocker reflect romantic myths and iron realities of early war days.
