Hooves, Paws, and Claws for the Cause: Animals in the U.S. Civil War

Join the National Museum of Civil War Medicine for a special Saturday Speaker Event with NMCWM author and volunteer Brad Stone who will be discussing his new book “Hooves, Paws, and Claws for the Cause: Animals in the U.S. Civil War.” Dogs, cats, horses, pigs, camels, bears, badgers, bald eagles, silk worms, and many other creatures played important roles during the American Civil War. “Hooves, Paws, and Claws for the Cause: Animals in the U.S. Civil War” tells the stories of these remarkable animals and the many ways they helped the soldiers and sailors they served with during the war. Stone will share some of his favorite stories from the book. A book signing will follow.
