Got camp set up

" Wall Tents began to see use in military camps in the mid 1750’s, primarily as an officers tent and for utility purposes. In the 1840’s the standard officer’s tent covered an area seven feet wide by about ten feet long, having walls about three feet high. The height of the tent at the peak was about eight feet. The pitch of the roof was the same as the wedge tents assigned to the common soldiers. The interior of the wall tent could be divided into a small section large enough for a cot and some personnel belongings, and an office area. These tents were also used for kitchens, hospitals and for storage. Wall tents undoubtedly saw use in the western fur trade,although there is only one reference one being used as a store for trade with the Indians in 1842"Hanson,Charles, 1980)


This tent was made by my husband years ago.
