Civil War Commissary in a Box
Civil War Candy? Who knew!
It’s true! Civil War soldiers did eat sugars and sweets – for many, they proved a vital part of their survival. Some were considered medicines, others treats. Some were sent in packages from home, and others given to them by the army. Regardless, you’ll enjoy experience their flavors, textures and, above all, stories, told on the back of our keepsake tag. Comes with 12 different samples. The perfect gift for the history lover – an amazing trip through time!
