Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier welcomes Park Ranger and historian Zachary Pittard on July 1 at 7 p.m. to the Petersburg Civil War Roundtable.
Pittard will discuss the challenges of suppling an army during the Civil War in his presentation titled, “Considering What Has Been Said of Their Condition:’ Confederate Supply and Logistics.”
Civil War armies were no different than any other army at any time in history. When it comes to supplies and logistics, soldiers need to be clothed, fed, housed and horses and mules need to be acquired, cared for and trained.
