Gettysburg National Military Park’s Winter Lecture Series continues on Saturday February 8th with Hearth, Hardtack, and Hospital: A Closer Look at Civil War Era Food presented by Barbara Sanders, Gettysburg National Military Park Ranger.
Food is a highly experiential element of history that connects us with people and places of the past, while at the same time demonstrating the universality of the human experience. Learn about home cooking in the mid-19th century and how it compared to the typical campaign ration of a Civil War soldier. Then explore the important work of nourishment provided by the United States Sanitary Commission after battles, and the prescriptive cooking at Civil War hospitals such as Gettysburg’s Camp Letterman.
This event is free and open to the public.
