You lucky people! Why? Well not only is Thomas Cardoza's eagerly anticipated book Intrepid Women: Cantinières and Vivandières of the French Army now out he has done a companion website www.cantinieres.comwhich explores a lot of the themes in a readable and visually impressive way. There is lots to see on the website and you will no doubt put it on your favourites.
Thomas has put a lot of interesting stuff on this website - knocking a few myths out of the park and he has to be congratulated for his work and sharing it with the wider world through the web.
Mr. Cardoza had a 1998 paper on-line.

I hope to get a copy of his book. I've tried to get girlfriends and even my wife to dress as a cantiniere at reenactments.
