During the Civil War, the Sanitary Commission called for 250,000 "soldier comfortables"
to be made and sent to the troops.
|
|
These were to be 54"x84" and were to be made of "sturdy, durable materials". Our reproduction soldier comforts are made from reproduction cotton fabrics, often the scraps from dresses and shirts we make for the tent. We use simple period patterns, and we tie them just as the ladies' groups would have done during the War. $125 each. Call to place order.

Recent testimonial: At the recent reenactment in Olustee, Fla., one of these soldier comforts was purchased by
the Prisoner of War Museum at Andersonville. They measured and checked and reviewed like crazy...and
finally blessed it as correct, according to the original specifications put out by the U.S. Sanitary Commission!
