Aug. 22, 1862: "Early this morning, we were called into line and about half the company marched through dust almost knee deep to Harrisburg, kept standing about the streets until 2pm when we were mustered into the United States Service, marched back to camp and the other squad was sent down and mustered in that evening. Later on we were told we leave for Fort Delaware in the morning. We were delighted with the prospect of a move and kept up a noise until we came near being put under guard. Sam McCloskey collected $96 from the boys to buy a sword for Lt. McConnell." - Pvt. Alexander Hamilton, Pittsburgh Heavy Artillery
