UnStorming Sheridan >> Story Three >> Fort Sheridan

"It is no marvel that Uncle Sam should be a good housekeeper. It is our pride that everything that bears his name is above reproach in order and cleanliness. His buildings, his roads, his uniforms are flawless. This wonder that is his discipline...extends with such thoroughness to the wives and housemaids of all the officers in Fort Sheridan. The backyards and kitchen doors are a lesson in municipal housekeeping"
