Excerpt from Reminiscences of Field-Hospital Service With the Army of the Potomac In the Spring of 1862, when the army was moved to the Peninsula, and it became necessary, in order to properly mobilize it for the field, to reduce the baggage and camp equipage to the minimum, each regi ment was allowed but one hospital tent.

During the siege of Yorktown, conveniences of a like character were provided at Ship Point and at Old Point Comfort.
