Pilgrims and Pioneers: Civil War Housewife

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

Civil War Housewife

Our latest addition to our website is this Civil War housewife- a reproduction of the cloth bags carried by soldiers to hold necessity items they had to carry with them.

Our housewife is made from cream wool that is heavily tea stained to make it look old like it has survived from the Civil War Era. It is a great accessory for your prim/ Colonial home. Great for holding chubby, grubby tapers or some of our prim prairie tarts. For more info go to http://www.brandyannescandlesandprims.com/
