Wartime Restrictions

Despite the changes in routes and antipathies along the border between the Confederate states and the Union, mail was still getting through, as were people, although nothing could be taken for granted. Pearl took to heart the advice to always request boiled water for her flask to avoid “traveler’s tummy” and, if possible, avoid spending the night any place. While some of the stops were clean or at least tolerable, many were not well kept.

Pearl also made a point to get some of that cactus juice lotion from Ma Kenner, just in case of buggy bedding. It sounded as if it were something handy to keep on hand regardless! Talking with Ma Kenner at church, she realized that the lotion she used for soothing burns, a natural hazard in the blacksmith industry, was the same that was so helpful against insect bites. She had used it on herself against a sunburn and quite liked the gentle aroma and wonderfully cooling sensation of the green gel.
