Tampa, Florida, where transports were in waiting. Twelve trains were loaded with troops, horses, baggage, etc. Before reaching Tampa they were ordered into camp 30 miles out, where they remained through the hot season. Typhoid fever broke out, and a large part of the troop was soon in the hospital. In September the troop was ordered to Huntsville, Ala., with Capt.
