Not only is it fascinating, it is true today Jan 10, 2004. Troops in Illinois (Citizens Soldiers) are moving out to do exactly the same thing. Scrutiny is the same, problems are identical, and it reads like a modern day FAQ. Great information!

A quote-
The military organization formed in this county was called the "Volunteer Rangers", and was commanded by Captain William McMurtry,- Turner Roundtree, First Lieutenant, and George Latimer, Second Lieutenant. They did not wear military uniforms, but continued in citizen's dress.
