MILL SPRING.
Garfield's camp was on a little group of hills in a very strong position, and his men, flushed with victory, were eager for another encounter with the enemy.

They had plenty of good tents to fend them from the winter weather which had often been bitter.

Throughout the camp burned large fires for which they had an almost unbroken wilderness to furnish fuel.

The whole aspect of the place was pleasing to the men who had marched far and hard.
Major Hertford and his aides, Richard Mason and George Warner, were received in Colonel Garfield's tent.
