Bridgeport Tale of Camp Life and Medical Furloughs
The regiment is well clothed and fed as they praise Quartermaster Spooner. Bridgeport is a railroad town with sutlers and bakeries fleecing soldiers, butter costs a dollar a pound, and veterans’ courage is noted as men face a looming arrival. Health is good overall, with some sick to be furloughed or discharged, and permanent winter quarters planned between here and Huntsville, Alabama.
