Learn about the little known and much loved animal mascots of the Civil WarAbout this Event
The Civil War was fought by citizen armies that often had their own, very un-military, ways of fighting. One thing they did was to bring or adopt animals of many kinds. This talk will focus on those much-loved unit mascots. The idea of using animals to represent military units throughout history will be discussed as well as the particular animals honored in Civil War lore and memorialization. The audience should learn something of the more personal side of war that is often examined only in terms of casualties and logistics.
