| Old Ft. San Carlos as viewed from top of old Ft. Barrancas, built 1839 - 1844. Fort Pickens, built 1829 - 1834, is directly across the bay on Santa Rosa Island, where the large Coastal Artillery guns were located.
The previously mentioned improvement in food due to eating in the Army mess hall was due to several reasons. Instead of the “field-kitchen” type of food served in the C.C.C., the army kitchen was equipped with good stoves and ovens, and far better serving tables. Instead of eating from metal mess kits, the army mess had ceramic plates and dishes, and regular knives, forks, and spoons. The food budget per man for army personnel was significantly larger than for C.C.C. men. The army cooks had been trained in a cooks and bakers school, and the Mess Sergeant was specially trained to plan meals and select foods at the market for menus that were healthier and better tasting. The army’s larger food budget provided milk, cereals, deserts, and fruits like apples, oranges, grapefruit, and bananas , which I don’t remember ever getting in the C.C.C. mess. Our quarters were on the edge of some woods, and in a clearing not very far into the woods was located another large old fort, Fort Redoubt. (1839). Old Fort Barrancas and Fort Redoubt were part of the same coastal defense installation. Although Fort Redoubt was in a restricted area, no guards were posted there. We could easily climb over the cattle fence, walk through the woods, and explore as much as we wished.
