Confederate Camp Cooking

from the introduction:
The purpose of this book is to explore the lifestyle of the Southern soldier, with a special emphasis on the food he ate ("such as it was, and what there was of it"). We will look at his rations, and his culinary improvisations. Authentic Civil War era recipes and commemorative recipes will be presented. These recipes will be of great interest to amateur historians and cooking enthusiasts, but most especially to Confederate re-enactors who may wish to use some of the "receipts" at Civil War encampments.
