During The American Revolution What Was A Baggage Train?
I know during the American Revolution there were often baggage trains following the soldiers. Some contained their wives. What is the definition of a baggage train and what was it like for the wives of Lobsterbacks (British Soldiers)? Thanks!
Simply put, the baggage train was the logistical support for the army. The baggage train contained food, supplies, as well as the wives, children, and even camp-followers of the army.
One of the biggest mistakes that civilians make about armies is that it is soldiers and weapons that win wars. Wrong! It is logistics; the procurement, distribution, maintenance, and replacement of materiel and personnel. The army that can replace its losses in equipment and get its people fed and back into the field has best chance of winning. Revolutionary general Francis "Swamp Fox Marion" knew that well, which was his army supplied itself mostly by capturing supplies from the British. In this way he was able to move without the encumberance of a baggage train, becoming the first guerilla warfare general.
Now, imagine what this meant during the American Revolution? Any army--British or American--had to carry its own equipment and service its army in the field. Since the soldiers usually had a lot of its own duties to deal with, so the business of mending uniforms, cooking food, carrying water, and tending to the wounded fell to the wives, girlfriends, and sometimes even the children of the soldiers. They followed the army into the field, and worked for the soldiers' benefit. The drawback was that the army could move no faster than its baggage train, since the army depended on the baggage train for its support.
The 17th century link below contains both description and has pictures of recreations of what the baggage train looked like.
