EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical Soldier's Daily Prayer Card from the Union Army during the United States Civil War is a fascinating glimpse into the humor and resilience of soldiers during a tumultuous time in American history. The card, featuring an illustration by artist Don Troiani, shows a soldier kneeling in prayer with tongue-in-cheek requests such as "Give us this day our daily rations" and "Forgive us our trespasses on Southern soil." Camp life during the Civil War was undoubtedly difficult, but this prayer card serves as a reminder that even in the midst of war, soldiers found ways to maintain their sense of humor and camaraderie. It also speaks to the deep religious beliefs held by many soldiers on both sides of the conflict. The North American historical event depicted in this print is brought to life through small personal items like this prayer card, which offer a unique perspective on the experiences of those who fought in one of America's bloodiest wars. As we reflect on this period in history, it is important to remember not only the political and military aspects of the conflict but also the individual stories and moments of levity that helped soldiers cope with unimaginable circumstances.
