Civil War Haversacks
Each Civil War soldier on field
service was issued a haversack. A Civil War haversack was also referred to as a
"bread bag". Civil War Haversacks would be used to carry rations and eating
utensils. A soldier would wear it over the right soldier as it would rest on the
left hip. Buckled to the strap would usually be a tin cup. The civil war
haversack was used primarily to carry rations such as hard bread, coffee, sugar,
salt pork, or fresh meat, tobacco, pencil and paper, and a "housewife". A
housewife contained thread, material, buttons, and a needle that was used for
repairing or mending tears or replacing buttons on uniforms.
