REPORT OF COMMITTEEE ON HISTORY, COL. P. C. ELLMAKER, CHAIRMAN, JUNE 5, IS62, FROM MINUTES, BOARD OF OFFICERS, FEBRUARY 3, 1SC3.


To the Board of Officers of the First Regt. Infantry (Gray Reserves) Reserve Brigade.


Gentlemen :


The committee to whom was referred the subject of the organization of the Regiment. its services to the Commonwealth, and tender of services to the General Government, beg to leave to submit the following report :


For many years anterior to the commencement of the present rebellion. the volunteer system had gradually been growing into disrepute. The Commonwealth afforded but little encouragement to those who were disposed to give their time and contribute their means to acquire a knowledge of the military art-the City of Philadelphia where all persons, at all times, conceded that a military organization was necessary, refused in all instances except one (and in that one. the expenditure was of doubtful propriety) to contribute anything to the support or maintenance of her citizen soldiery- whilst those of our citizens who were most immediately interested in the preservation of Law and Order, in the absence of any immediate danger from mob violence, have thrown every obstacle in the way of an effective organization of the Volunteer Militia.

APPENDICES


The Press, too, that powerful regulator of public opinion, Buled neglected to do justice to the Volunteers except occasionally to notre P. i. a Company made a street parade and " presented a neat and colher in" appearance."
