As I was looking at the Nov 9, 1861 Harpers Weekly: http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/civil-war/1861/november/lincoln-suspends-habeas-corpus.htm I noticed this little article. STRENGTH OF THE UNION ARMY. From reliable sources the Herald has compiled a table showing the number of troops each loyal State has now in the field or on their way to the seat of war; States. Infantry. Cavalry. Artillery. Total. Connecticut 4,188 100 — 4,288 Illinois 41,000 8,000 — 49,000 Indiana 30,000 2,000 500 32,500 Iowa 16,100 3,600 — 19,700 Kansas 4,000 1,000 200 5,200 Massachusetts 29,000 — 350 29,350 Maine 8,000 1,200 — 9,200 Michigan ... 18,784 5,800 300 24,884 Minnesota 3,000 - — 3,000 New York 85,000 5,000 500 90,500 New Jersey 9,000 — — 9,000 New Hampshire 5,000 — 200 5,200 Ohio 63,000 3,500 600 67,100 Pennsylvania 51,000 4,000 800 55,800 Rhode Island 2,628 — 750 3,378 Vermont 5,000 100 — 5,100 Wisconsin 10,000 1,200 1100 12,300 Total 384,700 35,500 5300 425,500 In addition to the above there are the State and Government troops in Kentucky and Missouri, which may be estimated as follows: Government. State. Missouri 10,000 25,000 Kentucky 8,000 20,000 Total 18,000 45,000 There are also five thousand volunteers raised in California, five thousand in Maryland, one thousand six hundred in Delaware, and two thousand in the District of Columbia, besides ten thousand regulars, which, added together, will show the Union land forces to number five hundred and twelve thousand men. | |||
