After the war broke out, both North and South built wooden frame barracks at permanent installations such as forts, arsenals, coastal installations, and training camps, while in winter smaller barracks were constructed with available materials and manpower. Life in these quarters, when men were not on guard duty or ill, was filled with carrying water and wood, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning guns, talking, writing letters home, racing, jumping, boxing, joking, singing, gambling at cards, dice, keno, fishing, bathing, and attending religious services, though some recruits loafed, grieved for home, were sent to the hospital, or died in camp. One wartime barracks built from original 1863 U.S. Army engineer plans, with modifications based on an illustration and photograph of Confederate barracks on Tybee Island in 1861, held about 85 non-commissioned officers and privates, with a smaller room for the non-commissioned officers, a larger room for the privates, and bunks shared by two to three men, while the amount and quality of furniture depended on available materials and whether carpenters were present.
