This photo is a glimpse into the logistics of the Civil War. It shows a Union regiment commissary. Keeping an army fed was a massive undertaking, and the commissary department was responsible for procuring and distributing rations. Here, you can see dressed beef suspended within a supply tent, ready to be processed for the troops.

It's a stark reminder of the daily realities and the scale of operations required behind the front lines. https://f3.social/6ydx

REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION TIPS: If you can't find your ancestor's pension record, consider these three things. 1- Check alternative spellings. Spelling was not always so standardized. For example, McKissick may appear as M'Kissick. 2- Try a different state. Even if he lived in Virginia, he may have served from Pennsylvania. 3- Remember, it wasn't until 1832 that ALL veterans received a pension. (Before this, various pension laws entitled some veterans to apply). If your ancestor passed away before 1832, he may not have applied for a pension.
