About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1888, Hard Tack and Coffee became an immediate best seller. Its author, John Billings, had served with the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. Writing from his own experience, the author's unadorned style carries the reader right into the everyday life of the ordinary soldier in the Union Army.

Review

One of the most entertaining of all Civil War books. --Henry Steele Commager
