The Thirty-Second Regiment has three connections to Camp Cameron. The Regiment as a whole was an out growth of the First Battalion stationed at Fort Warren.
Company A of this group received at thirty one men from Camp Cameron sometime in Nov. 1861. They had come to Fort Warren via Hingham, Mass. with Lt. Charles Dearborn of Salem. At the fort this company was under the command of Captain Luther Stevenson, Jr. of Hingham, Mass. Company C was mostly if not entirely recruited at Cameron. The November 11, 1861 edition of The Boston Evening Transcript stated that 96 men where at the camp for Co. C and Captain Jonathan Pierce.
When the state decided to enlarge the 1st Battalion into a full regiment, Company E was recruited at the camp. They entered the camp on DEC. 13, 1861 and left on Dec. 24, 1861 to join the rest of the regiment at Ft. Warren. Being mustered in on the 17th. They were under the command of Capt. Cephas C. Bumpus.
