Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 1. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 365 (search)

This is as good as the old story of the Bungtown riflemen, an Ohio military company, whose by-laws consisted of two sections, namely:-- Article First.--This company shall be known as the Bungtown Riflemen. Article Second.--In case of war, this company shall immediately disband.--Idem.
