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 might call "therapy pets" today--they fought in the ranks with their human comrades and weathered many a devastating battle! Next in our line of educational posters that the 150th PA Bucktail Regiment and the 111th PA Veteran Volunteer Regiment use in their 'living history encampments' are these two new additions below. These can be downloaded and used by classroom teachers and other lovers of history by clicking the appropriate hyperlink. Send any great anecdotes or interesting stories about Civil War mascots to us so we may use them in the future.
