<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 244403, member: 578&quot;]A sutler was a vendor who followed the Union army and sold provisions and luxury goods such as are found in our modern day PX or post exchange. He supplied tobacco, candy, dried fruit, canned goods, writing materials (and sometimes liquor) to the soldier who could afford the high priced goods. Many of the sutlers of this era issued metal tokens and paper scrip to insure themselves the trade of soldiers to whom they extended credit. These tokens ranged from 3¢ to $1 with both the sutler&#039;s name and the soldier&#039;s regiment listed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
