    Hi to all and happy new year from France !

    I'l looking for sketch of tents camp during the CW ( our event is a spring training camp in the rear of lines , place : Kentucky 1862...)

    I' m looking for the arrangement of tents, place of officer tent (did the NCO , sergeants, 1st sergeant, have tent for them or were with the men ? ), guard tent, "hospital" tent ...
    possible visitor tent (like sanitary commission, or sutlers... )

    all informations is and drawings are welcome !

    thanks to you

    Hi.
    I believe that Hardee's Simplified has what you are looking for.
    Hope this is right.

      There Is an excellent diagram of camps In the newest edition of The Columbia Rifles Research Compendium. Unfortunately though, I do not have a scanner. Will you be at the Chickasaw Bayou event next weekend? If so I will just bring the book to that to show you if noone else can help.

      "...as sometime happened, there was a company of cavalry out on drill, to engage in a sham fight with the battery...for while cavalry swept down on the guns at a gallop, with sabers flashing in the air, the cannoneers with guns loaded with blank cartridges, of course, stand rigid...until they are within a few rods of the battery. Then the lanyards are pulled..."       p. 185 Hardtack and coffee

            If you have them available, you may want to refer to references such as the US Army Regs of the period, and handbooks like William Craighill's "Army Officer's Pocket Companion" and Dan Butterfield's handbook on camp and field life. Diagrams are in one or more of those works, showing the theory of how it was "supposed" to be done.
