Learning about the soldiers during the war was interesting. From learning about their meals to how they survived.
If I had a choice of giving up either coffee or food during the time of the civil war. I would give up coffee. Human lives depend on food to survive. At day 7 without food makes is very hard for a person to survive. Coffee is good for awakening the body and the brain. After reviewing the civil war photos, if I had a choice, I cannot give up food.
Nice image, did you take that? As you think about how difficult daily life was for Civil War soldiers, imagine what it was like for photographers documenting the war? Think about the multiple steps and portable studio needs of a photographer using the wet-plate collodion process.
That is a very nice image. It caught my eyes and stomach right away!
