Under the second call, that of May 3d, 1861, for 500,000 three-years men, the quota assigned to Kansas was 3,235, but she furnished 6,953. Under the call of July 2d, 1862, for 300,000 three-years men, Kansas’ quota was 1,771, but she furnished 2,936. Under the calls of October 17th, 1863, and February 1st, 1864, for 500,000 three-years men, the quota of Kansas was 3,523, but she furnished 5,874. Under the call of March 14th, 1864, for 200,000 three-years men, Kansas’ quota was 1,409, but she furnished 2,564. Under the calls of July 18th, and December 19th, 1864, the quota of Kansas was 1,222, and she furnished 1,234. The only call to which Kansas did not respond was that of August 4th, 1862, for 300,000 nine-months men. The volunteers of Kansas went in for three years. The only enlistments for a briefer period were those of the Second Kansas for three months, under the President’s first call for troops, and the greater part of this regiment, immediately on its muster-out, reënlisted for three years; a battalion of 441 men, recruited in the autumn of 1864, for the hundred-days service; and 622 men, furnished in December, 1864, for one year. Of the 20,661 volunteers furnished by Kansas during the Rebellion, all except 1,713 enlisted “for three years, or during the war.” These cold official records illustrate, more eloquently than any language can describe, the splendid enthusiasm with which the patriotic people of Kansas “rallied around the flag.” But impressive and wonderful as they are, they do not tell the whole story. Kansas was called upon, during the first year of the war, to furnish only 3,235 men, and is credited, on the quotas of that year, with 7,603, but she actually furnished nine full regiments and one battery before the close of the year 1861. During the second year of the war she was called upon for 1,771 three-years and 1,771 nine-months men, and she responded with four full regiments and a battery for three years—none for nine months. During 1863 and 1864, her quotas aggregated 6,154, and she furnished five full regiments and a battery for three years, a battalion of nearly 500 men for one hundred days, and over 600 men for a year. Thus the young State furnished, during the war, nine regiments of infantry, nine of cavalry, three batteries, and five companies; and 1,209 of these men—mainly of the First, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth regiments—reënlisted, in 1863, as veterans. Thus every call made upon Kansas was filled at once, and, during the first two years of the war, doubly filled, by her eager, brave and patriotic sons.
