From the Richmond Dispatch, 11/11/1861, p. 2, c. 4
Winter Quarters. – On the hill east of Richmond,
known as Hospital Hill, or Chimborazo Heights, there has suddenly sprung up a
city, which, while it does not rival the metropolis in architectural
construction, makes a very formidable show in the number of its houses. These
buildings have been put up for winter quarters, and will furnish accommodations
for thousands of troops. It is worth any one’s trouble to go and see the new
city of Chimborazo.
