Description
Civil War Hardtack From Union-Occupied Nashville, Tennessee, approximately 3" square, inscribed "Planters Hotel Nas(hvill)e Tenn 1862." Some minor loss, but in remarkable condition for a 146 year-old cracker. Matted and framed with a modern print of a wartime image showing a "U. S. Sanitary Commission Soldiers Home" sign hanging from the former hotel. The New York Times, in a story dated July 3, 1864, praises the Commission's work in Nashville and gives a detailed accounting of the how soldiers on leave are benefited by the home.Auction Info
