Fitzhugh Lee, General Lee, Chapter 3: a cavalry officer of the army of the United States. (search)
The discomforts of army travel and army life were very great in those days. Officers would scarcely get within their assigned quarters at one post before they would be ordered to another, and as transportation was limited to a few Government wagons, the transfer would always result in loss to the officers. Lieutenant-Colonel Lee gives as a glimpse of this in a letter to Mrs. Lee, dated: Ringgold Barracks, Texas, October 24, 1856.
