Buntyn Station. A busy day for the
boys of the 6th Battery, as they were in expectation of staying in the place
for some time. Harness racks, feed troughs, shebangs, tables, etc. were put up
from lumber carried some forty rods, where it had been stored with the
intention of building. The tents were floored mostly. S. E. Sweet, Sampson
Beaver, E. W. Evans and myself built a house 6 by 8, 2 ft. high lower end, with
a fireplace in the side. Stood guard. Very pleasant evening.
