Limited Deluxe Hard-cover edition, The Civil War Canteen. Click picture and "Detailed Description".
This is the limited deluxe hard-cover edition of The Civil War Canteen. With the outbreak of hostilities in April of 1861, thousands of men would be called upon to leave the safety of their homes and go off to war. This would be a new experience; for many of these “citizen soldiers” it would be the first time they were away from their home towns. These new recruits would not only have to fight their fellow Americans, in many cases they would be facing their own relatives on the battlefield. Some men would carry muskets, others revolvers. Some would be firing cannons, while others waving swords. But there was one thing they all had in common, both enlisted man and officer, they all carried canteens.
There are nearly two hundred photographs in this 71 page book; many were taken during the Civil War, along with the different types of original canteens.....both Union and Confederate. This book will give the reader a rare opportunity to take a glimpse into the past to see what the soldier used and some of the battlefields he fought on. This is the deluxe hard cover edition, (Front & rear covers in color, interior black & white). I have just finished revising the entire book and am very pleased with the outcome. My other new release with over 600 photographs and entirely in color, "Battle of Gettysburg - The Relics, Artifacts & Souvenirs", has also been revised and is available (also available in black and white). I could combine any books with no additional shipping charges. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will gladly personalize your copies upon request.
