Beef Jerky was issued to both Northern and Southern troops. Although beef was more prevalent in the north, southern troops were issued beef when it was available. Most southern troops were issued pork which was more prevalent in the south. In today's market place beef jerky and turkey jerky may be found in most supermarkets in your area. One thing to remember is, it seems that when you make your own food with TLC it tastes much better.

day when you have time to do this project.
