Valentine G. Barney to Maria Barney
Image nop
    • Creator: Barney, Valentine G., 1834-1889.
    • Date Created: 1863-12-27
    • Description: Barney writes that he has moved into his house (winter quarters) and that Colonel Ripley was staying with him until his house was finished as well. He also gives a description of the expedition made by Colonel Ripley and 75 men to destroy a load of salt that had come ashore after a steamer ran aground. He also comments that Swanton has furnished its quota of troops but he is disappointed that the bounties were so high, and feels that the bounty system is unfair to the soldiers already serving.
