An Inside Look at Baltimore's Sanitary Fair
2023
Overview
[...]order, the Sanitary Commission established a complex network that rapidly responded to soldiers' needs. Soldiers standing picket in snowstorms received wool mittens knit with an index finger so they could fire their guns. Flowers and evergreen garlands adorned the stands and tables lining the walls, and an arch draped with American flags rose across the room, topped with the word \"UNION\" in huge letters, all lit by more gas jets. The fragrance of the fresh-cut flowers from Mary Lincoln's White House garden along with the scent of boughs and boughs of evergreens competed with the aroma of baked beans coming from the New England Kitchen, a recreation of a colonial scene complete with volunteers cooking over fireplaces, and women operating antique spinning wheels.
