The Thirteenth New Hampshire passed a cold and icy week at Camp Gilmore in regimental and battalion drills. On Saturday the Thirteenth engaged in target practice, with each man firing twenty rounds per gun. Today the Thirteenth spent their day in the usual fashion at drill, inspection, and religious services. 1
