The First Maryland cavalry, C. S. A. by Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden.
In the March, 1877, number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, page 136, Mr. Lamar Holliday, quite unintentionally, I am satisfied, fails to do full justice to the First Maryland Cavalry, C. S. A. The impression conveyed by his article is that the First Maryland Cavalry was not in the Confederate service until its organization as a battalion, in November, 1862.
A fuller history of this command will, I am sure, interest those who survive.
The facts I give are from my own knowledge and from my diary, kept during the first two years of the war.
Before 1861 there were organized in Howard county, Maryland, two cavalry companies of from 75 to 100 men each.
They were composed of the choicest material of the county.
In one company there were seventeen members of the Dorsey family; in the other company, eleven members of the same family.
The first company organized was named the Howard County Dragoons, comma

Chapter 26:
Grant and Fish.
Fish was the one member of the Cabinet who served during the entire eight years that Grant was President.
He entered the Administration on the 11th of March, 1869, and remained until March, 1877, even delaying a few days under Hayes.
He had not been Grant's original choice for Secretary of State, but before Washburne's brief term was over, when Wilson declined to take the post, and it was discovered that Stewart, of New York, was ineligible to the Treasury, the President appealed to Fish to help him out of his dilemma.
From the day of his election, Grant wrote, he had determined to offer Fish the appointment of Minister to England, but in the re-arrangement of his Cabinet, which was unavoidable, he invited the ex-Governor and Senator to accept the position of Secretary of State.
Fish promptly declined the proposition.
He had been requested to telegraph his answer and did so of course, but he also wrote, posting the letter with his own hands,
