Re: Camp of Instruction in Talladega

Lynda - I can't vouch for the accuracy of the following, but here is a pretty good description, if it is accurate:

CAMP BUCKNER (Talladega, AL)
[Camp of Instruction Two.] A Camp of Instruction, or Conscript Camp, was situated between East and West Streets, traversed by the present Sloan Ave., including the Edward R. Wren Memorial Hall property. Tents were placed all through the grove of oak trees. It was commanded by Major W. J. Walthall.
