Synopsis by Alice Day
Through photographs, writings, and live action, this series offers a detailed and intimate glimpse at the real lives of those persons who fought and died for their side. In a series of short vignettes, volume two looks at soldiers' water canteens, and how they personalized them. A report from Samuel Weaver, superintendent of exhuming bodies from the battlefields, gives details on how body identifications were undertaken. A flintock musket, an artillery drum, and a field and staff sword are examined up close. The stories in a regimental newspaper from the 100th Pennsylvania Volunteer army are discussed.
