An unnamed narrator recalls a chaotic night in a Civil War camp where blankets tangled around sleeping soldiers feet caused mass confusion. A noncommissioned officer, revolvers, and improvised war prep fill a tense dawn as men scramble to adapt to shortages and a strict captain’s orders. Names such as Callahan, Cloyne, Hamilton, Frost, Brainard, and others appear amid the drill, with humor and grit shaping the wary calm before battle.
A wartime march unfolds with Captain and sergeants leading a mixed troop of recruits and veterans. Horses buck and stumble as columns form in fours while scouts watch for rebels and the road to Virginia becomes a test of discipline and endurance.
