EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the United States Civil War - a medium-sized hardtack biscuit brought home by a Union soldier. Hardtack, also known as "army bread," was a staple food for soldiers on both sides during this tumultuous time in American history. The simplicity and durability of hardtack made it an ideal ration for soldiers marching long distances and enduring harsh conditions. Made from flour, water, and salt, these rock-hard crackers could last for months without spoiling. Despite its toughness, soldiers often had to soak their hardtack in coffee or water to make it edible. This particular hardtack biscuit serves as a tangible reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Civil War. It symbolizes the hardships faced by Union soldiers as they battled for the preservation of the United States and the abolition of slavery. As we reflect on this artifact from our past, we are reminded of the resilience and determination of those who came before us. The Union soldier who carried this hardtack home likely endured unimaginable challenges during his service, making this simple cracker all the more poignant. Through images like this one, we can connect with our shared history and gain a deeper appreciation for those who fought bravely during one of America's most defining moments.
