gillmore reports that instead of establishing a regular canteen, it was the custom in the federal army for each regimental commander to designate one man to sell beer to his comrades for a period of time, after which another man would be named to the same position for the same period. this franchise was highly coveted, as its holder had a chance to make a profit from his monopoly. a certain "joe m." was accordingly designated; he procured a barrel of beer, took it to the back of his tent and set up shop, selling beer for ten cents per glass. one customer objected to this price, informing joe that he had just bought beer at a different location for only five cents. outraged (as he was supposed to be the only man selling alcohol at that time), joe demanded to be taken to see his competitor, upon which he was led outside and behind his tent, where a comrade had cut a small hole through the canvas, tapped the barrel from the outside, and was selling joe's own beer at five cents per glass. according to gillmore: "that end of the beer saloon was suddenly and effectively closed."
