Raising of Troops
The 25th rendezvoused at Kalamazoo, under the direction of the Hon. H. G. Wells, commandant of camp, and the 26th at Jackson, in command of Colonel Judson S. Farrar. They were put in condition for active service with much promptness, and left the State immediately thereafter.
About the time that the President's last call for volunteers appeared, the Governor had permission from the War Department to send into the field another regiment of cavalry, and authority was given to Colonel K. H. G. Minty, then Lieutenant Colonel 3d Cavalry, to proceed at once to raise the 4th Cavalry.
