Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Adjutant General of Maryland: Transmitted to the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in Pursuance of Law, for the Year 1871 Sir - I have the honor to submit a Report of the operations of this office during the brief period in which it has been committed to my charge, and to offer such suggestions as may be deemed pertinent. I had the honor to receive my appointment, as the Adjutant General of the State, on the 8th of last February, but was prevented by untoward circumstances, involving the recovery of important Records necessary for transacting the business of the office, from assuming full and entire charge before April. The affairs of the office were found generally in a confused and disordered condition, owing to the disintegration of the Volunteer Forces then going on, and the sudden transfer of a vast number of papers and documents, the accumulation of four years, from Baltimore to Annapolis, which had necessarily to pass into new and unfamiliar hands. At the outset of my duties, I was met by the wreck of the extensive body of uniformed Volunteer Troops created by the Acts of 1867 and 1868. Those Acts provided large and unusual appropriations for support and supply. Liberal allowances were made for the lease of Amories, and in addition to the customary arms and accoutrements, the troops were furnished with uniforms, blankets, cavalry equipments and camp equipage; in short, no appliances were left unemployed to place the Volunteer Forces upon a firm and efficient footing. The times, too, were exceptionally propitious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
