Building the Huts The greater number of the huts were built upon the land of MordecaiMoore and David Stevens, some being upon the property of other owners. I was there when the army first began to build huts. They appeared tome like a family of beavc-rs. Every one busy, some carrying logs, others mudand the rest plastering them together. The whole was raised in a few daysand it is a curious collection of buildings in the true rustic order. Paine toFranklin. 72. Headquarters ok Brig. Gen. George Weedon
