Today we finished the first Episode of ken Burns Civil War - from Sumter to 1st Bull Run. This is a great introduction to what we will be learning this coming week because it focused on the rush to enlist following the firing on Sumter and the nature of both volunteer armies at the first major engagement.
Tonight you should read Chapter 2 from Hardtack and Coffee - Enlisting. Tomorrow's lecture will relate to the average soldier in the war. Having read this section is critical to understanding some of the lecture.
By Thursday you should also be reading the chapter called "A Day in Camp" more details to come!
