| Keywords: outdoor snow (from Frank Leslie's Illustrated History of the Civil War..., edited by Louis Shepheard Moat, Published by Mrs. Frank Leslie, New York, 1895) "The morning detail of a regiment going to work on the fortifications was rather a merry and a peculiar sight. Instead of rifles and cannon, the heroes were armed with shovels, hoes, spades, pickaxes and trowel, while their train of artillery was a battery of wheelbarrows. Above all the troubles, ravages and cares of a campaign rose that indomitable cheerfulness and willingness so characteristic of the American."
