CLOTHING: ITS RAPID DETERIORATION, AND DEVICES TO REPLENISH ITDESPERATE EFFORTS TO COVER NAKEDNESS"LITTLE RED CAP" AND HIS LETTER.
Clothing had now become an object of real solicitude to us older prisoners. The veterans of our crowdthe surviving remnant of those captured at Gettysburghad been prisoners over a year. The next in senioritythe Chickamauga boyshad been in ten months. The Mine Run fellows were eight months old, and my battalion had had seven months' incarceration. None of us were models of well-dressed gentlemen when captured. Our garments told the whole story of the hard campaigning we had undergone. Now, with months of the wear and tear of prison life, sleeping on the sand, working in tunnels, digging wells, etc., we were tattered and torn to an extent that a second-class tramp would have considered disgraceful.
