AMONG the pioneers of
Allen County were many who served in the war of 1812; a few took
part in that bloodless contest known as the Toledo war; while a
small number represented the county in the Mexican war, and a
few in the Reservoir war in Mercer County. It remained for
our own times, however, to exhibit the military strength of this
county - to realize what a people can sacrifice - what a people
can accomplish when their country is threatened or her flag
subjected to insult.
In April, 1861, when the electric wire flashed the
tidings of civil war into every city, town and hamlet of the
United States, the President's call for volunteers was made
known.
