"No article can take the place of Coffee to the soldier. He carries it in a little sack in his pocket and watches it as he does his scanty pay of $13.00 per month. When the weather is cold and wet and he is deprived of this favorite beverage he becomes revolutionary and almost unmanageable.
"With his daily allowance he will bear and forbear -- but without it he may rebel at any moment." — Cyrus F. Boyd, 15th Iowa Infantry
