Descriptive account of Florida campaign actions and camp life
The narrative praises the Augusta Volunteers for calm, disciplined fire in battle and details the harsh march toward Tampa Bay. It notes the intense heat, degraded rations, and scarce water from Withlacoochee ponds, the desertion of an Indian town, and the planned depot and posts from Tampa to Fort Drane. The writer reports on camp conditions, deployments with Gen Scott, and pending discharge after about nine to fifteen days of return travel.
