Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Quantities of flour and meal were found hidden miles from main roads in deep swamps, but it was but a small part of our living which came from flour and meal. Sweet potatoes, which we found by hundreds of bushels close beside the road, and fresh pork and poultry, of which there was an abundance, formed the greater share of it. Most of the way we found plenty of water, but after striking the river road most of the water was only such as we found in the cypress swamps and had a strong, unpleasant taste and a deep, dark color, and in some instances was almost black.
