A very good read.  Another, which I have not been able to find online, is Norfolk Blues: The Civil War Diary of the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues

I just finished hardtack and Coffee a couple of weeks ago. Very good read. I have read three books on soldiers lifestyle during the 19th century lately. Not CW but western campaigning was, Forty Miles a Day on Beans and Hay, by Don Rickey Jr.

 Interesting reading about the daily living trials of 19th C soldiers. There are alot of books out there isn't there?  ;)
