Ashley Carpenter Diary Entry:
“Oct. 11 Confiscated 20 lbs of white sugar, plenty of potatoes, lard, wine, & such other delicacies. Some of the boys slaughtered pigs. Others bought of the darkies eggs, butter & chickens. Such picket duty would make fat men of frames. We were relieved from duty in the afternoon, returned to camp & changed quarters for a prettier & more agreeable position where we supported a battery that guarded the arsenal.”
