Our Civil War ancestors' love of pets is something we all share with them. In some cases, their mascots came to embody the Regiments that adopted them! A few of the mascots were more than what we would today refer to as "therapy pets" -- some fought in the ranks with their human comrades and weathered many a devastating battle! Next in our line of educational posters are these two new additions below. These can be downloaded by classroom teachers and lovers of history by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink. We hope you'll enjoy these and consider sending us your other anecdotes of Civil War mascots so we can use such stories in the future!
Our Tribute to "Sallie" - the Feisty Pit Bull
of the 11th PA Volunteer Inf. Regiment!
