Indiana 36th Infantry Regiment, Indiana Volunteers
September 1861
Soon after April 10, 1861, the date Fort Sumter was fired upon by Confederate artillery and forced, after a brief conflict, to surrender to the people of the south who had determined to severe their connection to the Union and establish themselves a government known as the Confederacy, the Governor of the State of Indiana, Oliver P. Morton, sent the following message to the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln; "On behalf of the State of Indiana, I tender to you for the defense of the nation and up to uphold the authority of the government 10,000 men." On April 15th, 1861 the President called for 75,000 volunteers to the defense of the Union.
On September 16th, 1861 the following named citizens were mustered into the 36th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Nearly one hundred of these men are from Henry County. This list is of those who were the very first to serve in the 36th Volunteer Infantry Regiment, many more were to serve in the 36th throughout the war. These were among the first to see service during the Civil War.

September 1861
During the last week it was our privilege to spend a few days with the boys of the 36th regiment, temporarily located in Camp Murphey, at Indianapols. The excellent appearance of this regiment is matter of remark with all who have seen their drills. The men average well in size, are robust and healthy, and nearly all seem comfortable and contented.
The regimental organization is as follows:
Colonel - William Grose
Lt. Colonel - O. H. P. Carey
Major - T. W. Bennett
Adjutant - George W. Lennard
