Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Southern houses there were generally plenty of women and children (but no men); these were almost all naked and with no shoes on. My plan, which was for self-protection, was to sympathize with their unfortunate condition, and especially the children. I always offered my services to get shoes, stockings, calico, etc., haying an old chum in the Washington post office who made up my mails.
