Airing your dirty laundry, Army laundresses in pre-Civil War military, presented by Fort Steilacoom

Historical Interpreter and Museum Professional Peggy Barchi talks about the daily grind that army laundresses endured and the skills it took to be one in the 19th Century. How does the task of laundry in the 19th Century compare to that of the 21st century? Were the "good old days" really all that good - at least when it came to the 'dirty side of life?' Because of a Zoom issue, the introduction of the video is cut off, but the text of that introduction is printed below. The video picks up about two sentences into Peggy's presentation. Peggy Barchi started in living history at Fort Wilkins State Park in Michigan in 1982 training to portray an 1870 post-civil war army laundress. She wrote articles for the WCWA Dispatch in the 1990s- early 2000s about the US Sanitary Commission & did a couple of reenactments with the US Medical WCWA group. During that same time period, she developed a 6th grade Civil War in-school presentation based on my great, great, great uncle's life as a surgeon in the Union army. She was the Event/Volunteer Coordinator at Fort Nisqually for 10+ years, the marketing manager at the Northwest Railway Museum for 4+ years & she is currently the Education Coordinator at the Northwest Railway Museum. This program was presented by Fort Steilacoom Museum, which is located across the street from Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, Washington.
