He entered the army April 16, 1861 ; served three months and re-enlisted Sept. 5, 1S61, and served as sergeant and lieutenant in the 23d Mass. until Dec. 31, 1S64, when he was promoted to captain 2d U. S. Col. Cavalry, and then after to major of that regi- ment. His promotion to major was by the order of Gen. Butler as follows : "Capt. Robert Dollard 2d U. S. Col. Cavalry, acting as field officer in command of the skirmish line at New Market Heights, inspired his command by his great personal bravery, cool- ness and ability, until he fell severely wounded near the enemies' main line, is promoted to major." Major Dollard was a pioneer and a leading and highly respected citizen of Dakota Territory, where he was District Attorney and a prominent member of the upper house of the territorial Legislature and was no less prominent as a leader in the move- ments, by constitutional and other conventions through which the State of South Dakota was cre- ated and admitted into the Union. He has been a member of both branches of the Legislature of that State and its Attorney General. He served with credit throughout the war and was retained in service by the government until February, 1866, nearly five years of continuous duty. JOSEPH J.

Among the various veteran military or- ganizations, the Minute Men of 1S61 seem to have become the most popular among our people. As the name implies, its members are those who responded at a minute's notice to the first call of Presi- dent Lincoln and Governor Andrew, April 15, 1861 ; many of them, merchants, me- chanics, business men'and students, went direct from their places of business to Faneuil Hall, thence to Washington, NOT IN GAY UNIFORMS but mostly in citizen's attire, some armed with double-barreled shot guns, sporting rifles and various weapons of defence, to protect our flag and the national capital. Many of these men did not have time to see their wives or children before hasten- ing away: some were school boys, and left school books and dinner pails in their haste to get to the front. It is to these men CREDIT SHOULD BE GIVEN for preserving our country and national honor. One of our popular historians has written : "A delay of a half hour in the arrival of the Minute Men in Wash- ington would have found our capital and the archives of our government in the hands of the rebels, who would at once have been recognized by England and France," enemies of our country. With this state of affairs it would have been nearly impossible for our government to have again established itself among the nations of the world. The Minute Men put themselves to the fron . and gave our government time to catch its breath. The Massachusetts Min- ute Men of '61 consisted of seven separate organizations, viz. : First Massachusetts light battery, 11S men ; commanded by Capt. Asa M. Cook. Third battalion of riflemen, 31S men ; commanded by Maj. Charles Devens, Jr. (late Judge Devens). Third regiment Massachusetts infantry, 447 men ; commanded by the late Col. David W. Wardrop. Fourth regiment infantry, 635 men ; commanded by Col. Abner B. Packard. Fifth regiment Massachusetts volunteer infantrv, S29 men ; commanded by Col. Samuel C. Lawrence. Sixth regiment Massachusetts volunteer infantry, 747 men ; commanded by Col. Edward F. Jones. Eighth regiment infantry, 711 men; commanded by Timothy Munroe, after- wards by the late Col. Edward W. Hincks. This made a total of thirty-eight hun- dred and five men. Some of our friends have had an idea that these Minute Men were only three months in the service of our country, but at their first camp-fire in Faneuil Hall, Boston, 18S7, it was shown that of the S53 Minute Men present, ALL HUT SIXTEEN AGAIN VOLUNTEERED in defence of our flag and country; 4S6, or over half, having had experience at the front, were made officers in new regiments and batteries. With this ratio it would appear that over two thousand of these Minute Men were made officers and did much for the discipline and instruction of new regiments. The 39th annual reception of the Minute Men of '61 in Horticultural Hall, at 10 o'clock, a. m., and banquet in Faneuil Hall at 1 o'clock, Saturday, April 14th, give promise of being an unqualified suc- cess. His Excellency, the Governor, and inanv other prominent .persons will be present and address the Association. In response to a general desire on the part of the comrades the Melba Ladies' Quartet, with their cornetist, who for the past three years have been so warmly received bv the comrades, have been en- gaged, and will render patriotic songs, bugle calls, etc. The president for 1900 is Gen. Samuel E. Chamberlain, Barre, Mass. ; First Vice- President, Capt. Joseph II. Gleason, Everett. Mass. ; the Adjutant, Capt. James II. Griggs, 4 Albion Place, Charles- town : and Quartermaster, J. Frank Giles, P. O. Box 2423, Boston. Their invitation is general for all vet- erans and their friends to attend their banquet. 78 u MIXTURE Breakfast Tea Veuive Chafford Piare Olive V ^Td-olivevI^ ... < ; ■ '-v.
