Capt. Sibley and CO "H" of the new 29th Regiment

I do not know much about this company's stay at the camp yet. As I have stated before, the original 29th was merged into the 28th. The state soon began to form a new 29th Regiment (not Irish). early in 1861 seven companieas were sent to Ft. Warren. here they formed a battalion. When the time came to form a new 29th the state used these seven companies as the core of the new regiment. (1)
One of the three new companies was recruited by Henry R. Sibley of Charlestown. Since this group celebrated Christmas while still in Charlestown it is clear that this companydid not move to Cameron  until late December or early Jan, where they were under the general command of the 28th Regiment, until that regiment left on the 11th. From this date until the 29th also left for the war on the 13th they had the responsibliity of guarding the camp and the property in it. (2)
