IN BARRACKS A COMFORTABLE SPOT FOR THE CAVALRY TROOPER These cavalrymen of 64 look comfortable enougli in their l)arrack.s at Giesboro. Wlien tlie cavalry depotwas established there in 63, it was the custom to have the troopers return to the dismounted camp near Wash-ington to be remounted and refitted. Some coffee-coolers purposely lost their equipments and neglectedtheir horses in the field in order to be sent back for a time to the comfortable station. The order was finallygiven by General Meade to forward all horses, arms, and equipments to the soldiers in the field. While the menin this photograph are very much at ease and their lolling attitudes would seem to denote peace rather thanwar, they are probalily none of them self-indulgent troopers who prefer this luxurious resting-place but arepart of the garrison of the post charged with defending the valuable dejjot.
