The toughest of woods in America is white oak. The soldiers on both sides ate a breaded wafer called hardtack. The troops called this snack "white oak chips."

About Me
- Naim Peress
- I am a novelist with an intense interest in the Civil War. After having written my second novel about our civil conflict, I am now researching my third novel, which will be set during the Civil War as well. My interest began when I saw the Civil War film documentary by Ken Burns and it blossomed when I read James McGregor Burns's Battle Cry of Freedom. I've been into the Civil War since then.
