About this Event
With KT Shively, Associate Professor of Civil War History and Reconstruction at Virginia Commonwealth University.
In 1862 Virginia, Civil War soldiers endured punishing environmental conditions, which increased disease and harmed morale. In response to their natural enemies, they forged informal networks of health care and adopted self-care habits, from boiling water, to eradicating insects, to constructing elaborate shelters. As they fought to regain their health, they frequently struggled, testing the limits of army discipline.
