Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Quartermaster General, of West Virginia: For the Year 1864 Statement "B," issues to independent companies of scouts in the service of the State. It will be seen that these companies have been armed with one of the most effective guns now in use. Statement "C," issues to the militia of the State. This statement includes the issues to several companies of volunteer militia in the service of the State, but attached to some regiment of militia. The expenses of this Department, as shown by statement "E," have been greater than I anticipated, owing to the high rents that I have been compelled to pay for warehouses, and necessary expenditures incurred in organizing this Department. I regret to report to your Excellency, the impossibility, on my part, to report the number and condition of the arms in the hands of the militia. No papers have been furnished this office, from which a statement could be made; and the Regimental Quartermasters, who have been ordered to report, have not done so, or have rendered very imperfect ones.
