It was altogether picturesque and attractive.

In addition to the row of log cabins, there were enormous stables and Government buildings, and a cutler's store.

We were entertained for a day or two, and then quarters were assigned to us.

The second lieutenants had rather a poor choice, as the quarters were scarce.

We were assigned a half of a log cabin, which gave us one room, a small square hall, and a bare shed, the latter detached from the house, to be used for a kitchen.
