Ken,
Any idea where the Massachusetts Equipment depot was located?

Hey Ken,

I imagine the depot was at Readville, on the railroad south of Boston (as portrayed in Glory).

Interesting to see cavalry boots enumerated this early in the war as so many still think shoes were issued to mounted troops.

Hey Andy,
The funny thing is I have "worked" there!! Back in my youth it was the distribution center for "STOP 'N SHOP" My father in law worked there as well. Even after 125 years it was still a distribution center...thou not military items
