Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rebellion Record of Allegheny County: From April, 1861, to October, 1862; Containing the Narrative of the Organization of Companies and Regiments; The Pecuniary Aid Tendered by Corporations and Individuals; The History of the Home Guards; The Operation of the Draft, and Much Valuable Matter R On the 11th of April, 1861, the Secession movements in the South - already endorsed by Legislative action in Several States - culminated in a demand by General Beauregard, commander of the rebel troops, for a surrender of Fort Sumter, in the harbor of Charleston. The refusal of Major Anderson to surrender was followed, on the 12th inst., by an assault on the fort, which, after a two days´ bombardment, was capitulated, and the United States garrison, comprising less than ninety men, left the fort on the 14th inst. with the honors of war, saluting their flag. No loss of life had occured during the bombardment, but by the bursting of a gun in firing the salute two men were killed and four wounded. The most intense excitement throughout the North followed the announcement of the attack on Fort Sumter, and on the 15th of April the President issued a proclamation calling upon the States to furnish 75,000 militia, to suppress the rebellion, and summoning an extra session of Congress on the 4th of July following. The quota of Pennsylvania, under this call for troops, was fixed at sixteen regiments, and the command of the Western Division of the State assigned to Brigadier-General Negley, for the purpose of organizing the troops. The call for volunteers found Allegheny County, like all other parts of the State, almost unprovided with military organizations.
