Troop Tents at Camp Cameron

I have always suspected that temporary tents may have been brought in for times of over crowding. In rereading Hard Tack and Coffee I came across this "a still larger number found shelter in tents prior to their departure for the field. These tents were of various patterns, but the principle varieties used were Sibley, the A or Wedge Tent, and the Hospital or Wall Tent."

Once again this shows the importance of rereading your sources. You always miss something.
