But the image that truly made me curious was this:


MS4016 Coffee Wagon

I wondered if it was some sort of strange gun or canon considering the trio of chimneys. Google lead me to an article about it in The Civil War Librarian. I'd never heard of Christian Commission before and nor knew about the work they did.
