Re: Daily Ration of Rum For Union Navy!

I have been editing a Union Marine's diary. He handles the actions at Vicksburg and New Orleans in about a page each. But when they stop the spirit ration, he goes on for pages about the injustice of the policy. That must have meant an awful lot to some of those guys.
