"The
Robinson House is used as a Yankee hospital. In a visit there this morning,
I found 100 of them [Yankees] packed in the rooms as thick as sardines.... The
wounds of the majority were undressed, the blood had dried upon their persons
and garments, and altogether there the most horrible set of beings it has been
my lot to encounter."
Felix Gregory de Fontaine, Charleston Daily
Courier, September 11, 1862
