Very nice! After 25 years of reenacting I've away wanted to due a winter weekend event. However now that I over 60 I think I wait for warmer. 👍🇺🇸 weather.
Just a question I did 17 years in the Royal Australia Infantry Corp so field conditions I understand, it use to be a standard procedure to sterilise eating utensils in biolibg water did the civil war veterans do the same.
Thanks for your comment. As they say: "If the Civil War didn't kill you, the food might." The American Civil War went from 1861-1865. Germs weren’t discovered to be the cause of disease until Joseph Lister’s Germ Theory was published in 1867, thusly the concept of sterilization didn’t exist as germs were not known to exist. They had realized clean was good, but didn’t really understand how “clean” is not sterile. Germ Theory wasn’t immediately accepted. It was helped along by USCW Surgeons who agreed from their own observations, this (germs) was. The missing piece of the puzzle. (Thanks to Scott with @3rd Maine for this information)
These videos are astounding in quality. Always a true pleasure to view.
