The Nov. 20 1861 Boston Daily Advertiser ran a story looking for Thanksgiving donations to the Quartermaster of the Twenty-Eighth Regiment. On the 22nd the Boston Traveler ran a story from Wm. H. Bullock, "Colonel Commanding Camp Cameron", thanking all the ladies and gentlemen of the area who donated materials to the soldiers Thanksgiving dinner. Of the "over 900 men on Thanksgiving day, there was not a single case of intemperance or insubdination, and not one man in the guard-house?"
