Civil Hardtack and Hardtack Crates - A Veteran Speaks

Описание к видео Civil Hardtack and Hardtack Crates - A Veteran Speaks

The Union armies consumed massive amounts of hardtack during the war. Each soldier was allotted a pound of hardtack per day and a crate holds 50 pounds. With Union force at times totalling over 600,000, that is a lot of hardtack crates everyday! The men learned to repurpose these “Amazon cardboard boxes” of their day in many useful ways. In this episode, Will takes a look at a couple documented utilitarian crate builds.
