Campaigning in the Wet & Cold: Shelter - Civil War Camping

In this episode, Will and comrade John Conners explore ways soldiers took shelter while on the march during a campaign. Not only ways to keep the rain off to stay dry but also tips for being warm on a cold night. You will also hear from several primary accounts from soldiers themselves, north and south, sharing their experiences.
