"Immediately after organikzation, the regiment went into camp mear Trenton, Tenn, drilling daily, Col. Russel being a West Pointer. In a week or two it was removed to camp of instruction at Union City, Tenn., where it spent the summer drilling, having MEASLES, [emphis mine], and 'talking war talk.' . . . .

"In September all the troops at Union City were ordered to Columbus, Ky."
