did they issue any meat other than salt pork-- im a jew so my religion forbids the comsumtion of pig

Slab bacon is the closest to get today from period salt pork. Store bought salt pork WILL NOT KEEP in your haversack. You will get sick. Not saying your using it but just saying for others.

You should leave your canteen in your haversack, its a reenactorism to strap it to your canteen. Russet potatos were not cultivated until after the war in the 1870s. Oats were issued but rarely.

@MrCamm113 make your own.

@97yankeeboy Soap and water will work just fine. Its probably a little tarnished and baking soda and water with light rubbing will take care of that.

Why didn't they drink tea back then? I always see people with coffee bur never with tea?

@Mrhahahahatim They did have tea. it was more a civilian and rich drink. it was never issued or at least not documented if it was. also it was very expensive and dose not provide the energy to the soldiers that coffee gives
