The tents were standing, and in some the blankets were lying on the ground, as if they had been very suddenly vacated.

In one tent was a side-saddle, a neat pair of gaiters, and a hoop-skirt.

The proper connection of those articles with the battle-field I was unable to ascertain.
In that camp was a fine lot of provisions, arms, equipments, and ammunition.

Saddles were numerous, but there were no horses.

It was evident that, the hasty evacuation left no time for the simple process of saddling.
Early in the day I had come into possession of a horse with a very poor outfit.
