�regiments.

These figures test the loyalty of each county, in a manner silent, but beyond argument.
W. S. Hickox was Quartermaster of the camp, and furnished supplies to the men. By the 25th of October, the number had increased to over four thousand in camp. That day, how- ever, the One hundred and Twentieth Regiment,
�which had been forming since August, and had been armed on the 17th of October, left Camp Mansfield for the front. It contained a few of the drafted men, however not as such, for all those entering the One Hundred and Twentieth, had taken advantage of the Governor's order allowing them to enlist. Following the same plan adopted in the history of this county in the war, the history of this regiment will be given in this connection, after which the narra- tive will revert to the camp at Mansfield, and the history of organizations there. The follow- ing roster of the regiment shows the officers who went from this county:
