promulgate this order. By command of His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Gov. & Com. In Chief, Wm. Schouler, Adjt. Gen. The regiment was very fortunate in having one of the most skillful physicians in the Army for its surgeon, Dr. J. Franklin Dyer. He was a man of gentle temperament, but thorough in every detail of his position and became as highly appreciated in the brigade division and corps as he was in the regiment. He first attracted the attention of the Brigade by the skillful manner in which he took part in stamping out an epidemic of measles in the Seventh Michigan in the Fall of 1861 at Camp Benton, preventing its spread in the Brigade. He always looked after the sanitary condition of the camp with untiring zeal and this fact alone explains the healthy condition of the Nineteenth, often under very trying circumstances. Surgeon Dyer will be remembered both for his personality and for those qualities which, when found in a man of his ability, make a great surgeon.

on may be inferred from the following letter sent by Adjutant General Schouler to Governor Andrew on July 27, 1861: There are but nine companies in the Nineteenth Regiment and most of them are without uniforms, and there are but 15 guns in the whole regiment. The men are much in want of clothes. There is but one drum in the entire camp and it is all the music they have. All this had occurred before the muster out of the Eighth Regiment from its three months service, which took place on August 1. Col. Hinks had achieved an enviable reputation at the head of this Regiment and was now free to accept his new command, which, by Special Order No. 387, dated A. G. O., Boston, Aug. 3, 1861, assigned him to the Nineteenth Regiment and to assume command this day. The Special Order No. 387 also announced that the Nineteenth Regiment was to be deemed the proper rendezvous for all members of the Eighth Regiment desirous of again enlisting in the service of the country.

ee months of independent, hap-hazard drill had been worse than useless and was immediately begun over again in the regulation manner. The new officers went earnestly to work drilling the regiment and many a hard day was spent tramping over the field in company and battalion drill. The service began to be less like a picnic as each day passed, but the men were getting acquainted with the musket and receiving that preparation which was to be of great benefit to them in later years. On August 18, Colonel Hinks received the following letter: Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Aug. 15, 1861. Sir: I am directed by His Excellency, the Commander-In-Chief, to inform you that the exigencies of the public service are such as imperatively to demand that your regiment be forwarded to the seat of war at the earliest possible moment, and in no event be delayed beyond the last day of the month.
