| | General Brock.com — Hardtack |
| | Back in the day, the hardtack was often soaked in water, then dipped in salt pork fat and cooked over an open fire on the end of bayonets. | | | Hardtack are hard, dry biscuits that need to be softened with moisture before eating (otherwise, they are basically inedible.) The advantage was that they kept for an extraordinarily long time. | | | The biscuits need to be softened before they can be eaten. |

| | Hardtack Cutter |
| | Hardtack was made from a dough of flour and water only. | | | In the early years of the war they also added salt, but salt drew moisture an hastened spoilage. | | | This cutter does a good job of properly cutting out and at the same time punching 13 holes into the dough to make a Civil War period cracker known as Hard Bread or Hardtack. |

| | Hardtack History |
| | Hardtack was also called "sheet iron crackers", "teeth dullers", or "worm castles", a reference to the weevils and maggots that were all too often found in the boxes of hardtack. | | | Although raw flour is hard to digest, in the form of hard bread, it is edible. | | | It appears that it was first called hardtack by the Union Army of the Potomac; although the name spread to other units, it was generally referred to as hard bread by the armies of the West. |

| | Here is the marching ration: one pound of hard bread; three-fourths of a pound of salt pork, or one and one-fourth pounds of fresh meat; sugar, coffee, and salt. | | | While hardtack was nutritious, yet a hungry man could eat his ten in a short time and still be hungry.... | | | Soon they would be surrounded by the soldiers, who made it an almost invariable rule to cook their coffee first, after which a large number, tired out with the toils of the day, would make their supper of hardtack and coffee, and roll up in their blankets for the night. |
