SETTING TO WORK.


Taking his quarters in small, room in
the little hotel near the railroad bridge,
Col Jackson promptly set to work to get
his troops into shape and to make what
he could of the remains of the arrnory
and arsenal

much of the arms and ammunition, but
had done comparatively little damage
to the machinery, and the factory was
now kept busy by Jackson making new
weapons out of old fint-rock rifles, with

One group of soldiers was put to work
at manufacturing musket cartridges, and
another at constructing rough-and-ready
ammunition carts for the artillery by
fastening wooden boxes on the running
gear of farm wagons.
Jackson had the practical soldiers
distate for red tape. When he found
that artillery horses were wanted he
declined to enter into lengthy cores

quartermaster with a detachment of
men to the Quaker settlements in Lou
