Excerpt from The Army Sketch Book: An Artist's Story of the War
Kind of traveling human locust dressed in faded blue, is a phrase that might have been truthfully applied to the Union soldier; always hungry, never satisfied, and willing to join a foraging party on the shortest possible notice. At times he literally cleared parts of our country of all bounties acceptable to man and beast; and yet depre dations were laughed at and forgiven, for the little obtained by the brave boys in blue was but slight recompense for the great service rendered to the land.
Many were the ludicrous scenes in those memorable campaigns.
