Also present is a small volume of written inspections of regiments camped near Sharpsburg, Maryland, subsequent to the battle of Antietam.</p> <p>Camp inspection returns listed questions, as many as one hundred and ninety-one, regarding camp placement, soil type, drainage, waste management, water supply, food storage, and many other topics relating to sanitation, and the comfort and morale of soldiers. The name and location of the camp, state, regiment, and date of inspection were also recorded.</p> <p>Printed return forms underwent several changes to their design and content collected, with each version of return identified by a different form number.
