Resolutions of the Williamsport Home Guards
Summary
On June 28, 1861 the Williamsport Home Guards passed a resolution, similar to those published by the Frederick and Middletown Home Guards, refusing to comply with an act of the Maryland legislature “designed to disarm the loyal citizens of the State.” A letter from Ward H. Lamon to the Williamsport Home Guards expressed satisfaction at the resolution and pledged that the Federal government would sustain them.
