Sutlers
- A common sight in the camps of Civil War soldiers was a string of
huts or tents bulging with various items for sale. These business establishments
belonged to sutlers, civilians officially appointed to supply soldiers
with a long list of approved items. In both the Union and Confederate
armies each regiment was allowed 1 sutler. From these camp vendors a
soldier could purchase such items as food, newspapers, books, tobacco,
razors, tin plates, cups, cutlery, and illegal alcohol. Ben Tart Well-researched historically accurate uniforms with fine attention to detail Fall
