Vivandiere Keg
During the Civil War, a few women were hired by the Union to accompany troops to the battlefield, acting as a combination of drum major (for parades), concession girl and nurse. A number of these women were so highly esteemed by the troops that their names have become part of Civil War legend. These women were known as vivandieres. This three-quart, oval-shaped oak keg is a vivandiere trademark, and would have been carried on the battlefield to give water to or liquor to wounded soldiers. It has a rope strap for portability and a corked bung. Height 7", Width 4", Length 10". Vivandieres of the Past_ Photos
