I should also mention that it seems that many of the company were disgruntled which could have also been a factor. This is from the Record of Events referred to above: “The orders from the War Department specify that we should leave for Richmond, Va. as soon as organized and prepared. We were not organized and prepared before the 30th May and claim that the Government contemplated paying us for our services for the time required to prepare ourselves for actual duty, viz: from the 18th day of May, 1861 to 30th day of May, 1861. We therefore receive this pay under protest.”
