 "M. W. H." described Laurel as "a neat, sleepy little lazy village of one street"​. The 141st camped in a "fine meadow on a sloping ground, between the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., track and the carriage road." "M. W. H." found the landscape to be "​magnificent;​ such fine rolling land, and not a hill to be seen." The men slept in poor tents, four men to each tent, which they named "​Montour House, Brainerd House, Haight'​s Hotel, Wild Cat Tiger, and Fort Donelson."​ Streets between the evenly spaced tents were also named "​Havana,​ Baldwin, Third Avenue, Canisteo, and Steuben",​ after New York counties and towns. "M.

 Living in their small tents, the men ate "a slice of raw salt pork, five sea biscuits, and a cup of coffee."​ Sometimes beans were served instead of pork. Additional food was available in the town, milk, butter, and eggs, but at exorbitant prices. Living in their small tents, the men ate "a slice of raw salt pork, five sea biscuits, and a cup of coffee."​ Sometimes beans were served instead of pork.
