CIVIL WAR SUPPER (PART 1)

My 13-year-old son, Tony, and I are in the midst of a year long Civil War unit study. This afternoon we read an article out of the Winter 2005 issue of THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE magazine called "Food on the Fields of the Civil War" by Marilyn Moll; for supper we are preparing three of the eight recipes included. The posting of each recipe will follow shortly.
