Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Col. James Scamman´s Thirtieth Regiment of Foot: Eight Months´ Service Men of 1775 From York County; With a Full Account of Their Movements During the Battle of Bunker Hill and Complete Muster Rolls of the Companies I therefore pray that the plan may be completed and handed to me this morning, that you, gentlemen of the Congress, issue orders for enlisting men. American Archives, Volume II, page 384. The plan was completed, and men thought best fitted for such work were given "beating orders" to raise companies all through the Massachusetts Colony. The following are copies of the "beating orders" sent out by the Committee of Safety from Cambridge: - In Committee of Safety, Cambridge, April 24, 1775. To Captain ... of ... in the County of ... greeting: Sir: - You are hereby empowered immediately to enlist a company, to consist of 56 able-bodied and effective men, including sergeants, as soldiers in the Massachusetts service, for the protection of American liberty, and cause them to pass muster as soon as possible. Whereas, you have this day received orders for enlisting 56 soldiers, including a sergeant, for the Massachusetts service for the protection of the liberties of America, you are hereby acquainted that the commission of a captain in said service shall be made out for you as soon as you have completed the said enlistment; and you will also be allowed to nominate 2 subalterns to serve under you, who will receive commissions accordingly, if the committee shall approve of them.
