at the city of Flint. The rule had been adopted by Governor Blair, and up to that time closely adhered to, to establish no regimental rendezvous in places inaccessible by railroad, and as Flint had then no railway communica- tion it required all the influence and energy of the patriotic president of the board to procure the order designating his own city of Flint as the head- quarters of the Tenth during its organization. But the order was finally obtained, and the camp of instruction-of which he was made provisional commandant-was named by the officers "Camp Thomson," in his honor.
This camp was situated near the eastern limits of the city on the left bank of Flint river, "on a piece of undulating ground including a small piece of woods separated from the drill-ground by a low marsh, which in the spring time was overflowed by the high water of the river." Comfortable barracks, mess and cook-rooms were erected, and here the men of the Tenth made winter-quarters and their home for a period of nearly six months-a period which during its continuance they thought to be one of considerable hardship, but to which from their later camps and bivouacs, they often looked back as a season of comfort and pleasant associations.
The several companies composing the regiment were recruited under the following names: "Byron Guard," afterwards designated as A Company ; "Saginaw Rangers," afterwards designated as B Company; "Orion Union Guard," afterwards designated as C Company; "Sanilac Pioneers," after- wards designated as D Company ; "Scarritt Guard," afterwards designated as E Company ; "Holt Guard," afterward designated as F Company; "Lum Guard," afterwards designated. as G Company; "McClellan Guard," after- wards designated as H Company ; "Genesee Rangers," afterwards designated as I Company; "Dickerson Guard," afterwards designated as K Company.
The first, third and ninth of the above companies, especially the ninth, were largely made up of men from Genesee, and the county was represented in nearly all the other companies.
