Reenactors Camp Site at Jockey Hollow
rior to the arrival of Baron von Steuben on December 1, 1777, there was no set arrangement of tents and huts.
Men relieved themselves where they wished, and when an animal died it was stripped of its meat and the rest was left to rot where it lay.
Von Steuben laid out a plan to have rows for command, officers, and enlisted men.
Kitchens and latrines were on opposite sides of the camp, with latrines on the downhill side. There was the familiar arrangement of company and regimental streets
