My great grandfather was at Camp Nelson in December, 1832. He and several of his friends from home ( Gilmer,TX) were ill and his brother in law; Joseph Pendergrass had died. They were in The 22nd. Texas Infantry ( Hubbards Regiment)
I have an original letter that he wrote to his parents. He lists some of the sick and names of some of the dead.
He mentions a little about the plans of the unit. Also that the weather is very cold and it is snowing and he doesn't have warm clothing. The name of my G. grandfather was John Harmon Carter. He was a Corporal in Company C. If this can help let me know. If there ever is a book, I want one !
