Description
Excerpt from A Short History and Illustrated Roster of the 106th Infantry, United States, Colonel Frank H. Norton Commanding
Colonel Willets had been appointed by the Governor of the State, in 1846, to organize the 14th Regiment and lay out the regimental district, but being unsuccessful, he had been relieved, and Phillip S. Crook appointed as Colonel to do this work. At a meeting held in Mrs. Prest''s Military Garden, which stood where the County Court House is now located, these companies participated in an enthusiastic initial muster: National Guard, Company A, the Union Blues or City Grenadiers, already organized and uniformed. From various sources, principally from the Washington Guards, a volunteer organization attached to the No. 1 Fire Engine Company, there was quickly recruited the number of men required by law (thirty-two) for another company, which was duly inspected and designated as Company B.
