Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War.
The Governor, entertaining other views in regard to the necessities of the country at that time for immediate preparation to meet coming emergencies, assumed the responsibility of establishing a camp of instruction at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, and accordingly published the following order:
General Orders, No. 25.
MILITARY DEPARTMENT, MICHIGAN, Adjutant General's Office, Detroit, Mich., May 21th, 1861.
In accordance with a letter from the Secretary of War, a copy of which is hereto annexed, the Commander-in-Chief feels obliged to decline the rendezvousing of any more State troops by regiments. In order, however, to prepare for any future call, and to insure at the least expense to the State an efficient corps of officers and non-commissioned officers, two additional regiments will be formed.
