That sounds like Miami. I'm off to Resaca, GA, this weekend to kill Yankees. Obviously, I'll be wearing Gray as a Confederate soldier in Co. D, 1st Florida Volunteers. It will probably be hot this weekend, but I really need to go. Nothing relieves stress like a couple of bayonet charges.
Civil War canteens basically come in four models.
I have a steel canteen, but don't like drinking brown water. So I did what a lot of Civil War soldiers did. I heated up beeswax in a frying pan and poured it into my canteen and swirled it around. Hopefully, it sealed the seams where most of the rust begins. Well, I received e-mail from the LOC stating that such was not the case.
