On the 4th of September following the regiment took its route for Kentuckv via Cincinnati, 997 strong, in command of Colonel Wisner. On that day the regiment was given a flag just before leaving Pontiac by the young ladies of
that city. The presentation was made by J. S. Dewey, Esq., in a short but very eloquent address. Colonel Wisner in the name of the regiment received the flag in a brief but patriotic speech. While Mr. Dewey was addressing the regiment the flag was borne by two beautiful and accomplished young ladies, —Miss Emma Adams and Miss Julia Comstock.
