Presented by the Friends and Pards of the Western Federal Blues

Learn the Lifestyle of the Common Western Federal Soldier

DID YOU KNOW? Civil War soldiers spent 49 of every 50 days in camp. This was a great age of individualism, and for those millions of civilians on loan to the military, camp life was a combination of endless drill, monotonous routines, constant boredom, homesickness and an underlying fear of ever-present sickness laced with a healthy dose of practical jokes, religion, boxing, wrestling, fishing, letter writing and gambling.
