Bands would come and play for the soldiers, to lift their spirits. The other thing the soldiers would do is drill and drill and drill.

Union troops were given beans, bacon, pickled beef—called “salt horse” by the men—dried, compressed mixed vegetables, a cake that made a thin soup when crumbled into boiling water, and hardtack—square flour-and-water biscuits so hard, some said, that they could stop bullets.
