When author Robert is not
off playing soldier he can
be found lecturing on the
New York State Soldiers'
Home and the GAR. The

My interest in the Civil War began
in 1970 when my father Ronald W.
Yott and his brother Ernie became
founding members of the 1st US
Artillery, Battery K, N-SSA.
The sights, sounds and smell of so
many Civil War units, both North
and South, competing with muskets,
carbines, cannon and mortars was
very intoxicating.
The rest is, as they say, history.
Union Blue Sutlery was established in 2007
when I began promoting my latest book
From Soldiers’ Home to Medical Center.
With a renewed interest in the Civil War my
wife Mona and I began attending
reenactments selling “souvenirs of the
battlefields." Now, Robert dons a uniform
and grabs a musket while Mona minds the
store.
My new project involves taking this
White Oak from the woods and
