MAINE TROOPS 2 & 3

The March 8, 1862 Boston Herald reported that "About 130 recruits for several of the Maine regiments" arrived at Camp Cameron on March 7. They spent the night and proceeded to the front the next afternoon.

On April 16, 1862 the Herald reported "about 125 recruits for the various Maine regiments" under the command of Capt Sargent arrived at the camp on the 15th, again they stayed the night and moved onto the front.
