What is a picket pin, and what does it do?
While reading Robert M. Utley’s book, “Frontier Regulars”, it mentioned picket pins. I looked it up, and found it’s something that looks like this:

But, I’m having trouble finding what exactly it is. Is it some sort of tent spike or something?
As usual, this is a question that doesn’t snugly fit in any category, so bare with me if you think it’s in the wrong place.
