It was occupied by the Sixty-ninth Regiment of New York. One of the first duties of these soldiers after enlisting for the war was the digging of trenches and erecting of breastworks around this camp. They worked unremittingly and with such success that their position became of immense strength. The result of their work was pronounced by military authorities to be perfect and admirable in every respect, The camp was named Corcoran in compliment to their colonel, who was greatly respected."
