Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Feed an Army
I have the honor to say, in answer to your circular letter of the lst instant, received on the 14th of this month, that not having been actually in the field I have but little of the kind of practical information apparently asked for. My duties in this war began first in building the bakeries in the Capitol. Thence I was transferred to Baltimore and then to Cincinnati, in both these last places as purchasing officer. As such I had the usual experience. While at Cincinnati I was appointed chief commissary of the Department of the Ohio, and as such required monthly and semimonthly report of stock on hand and copies of the returns rendered you to be sent to me.
Since coming here as chief commissary of subsistence of this department I now require from the different commissaries trimonthly reports of stock on hand and copies of returns and reports made to you. At the end of. Each month I make my required reports to you of officers on duty in this department of our corps.
My experience with beef cattle is that they should only be shipped in this climate on the open deck of seagoing side wheel steamers. Desiccated vegetables, desiccated potatoes.
