This book recounts the formative months when the United States Third Regiment formed a unique community while encamped amidst the Virginia wilderness during the Spanish-American War. From morning reveille to evening campfires, the author, who served as Chaplain, offers a colorful account of routine and special events: the daily sounds of reveille and retreat, the soldiers' enthusiastic adoption of the bugle calls, their nighttime entertainment, playful antics, and even their brief march through unusually heavy rain. Beyond these scenes of camaraderie, the author documents the camp's administration and the sobering first instances of disciplinary measures and a soldier's death. The book provides a humanizing, day-to-day perspective on the soldier experience in the Spanish-American War and the universality of the human spirit in the face of challenging circumstances.
