Wind Sacks Pine Camp as $25000 Army Pay Scatters
A violent windstorm at Pine Camp in New York hurled tents and hurt soldiers during a prewar encampment. Major William Halliday's pay chest of about $25,900 was blown from a tent, scattered across the wet ground, with some money recovered up to 500 yards away. Generals Grant and McCormick were nearby as observers and staff tents collapsed. The storm, lasting five minutes with hail and rain, damaged multiple regiments including the Eleventh and Thirteenth Cavalry and the Twenty fourth Infantry, and will require two days to restore order. About 6,000 to 30,000 troops may pass through the camp during the encampment near Felt Mills along Black River.
