The requisition was received in Trenton on April 17th, 1861. On the same day Governor Olden issued his proclamation calling for four regiments of militia. The response to the Governor's call was prompt and in excess of the quota...

...The second proclamation of President Lincoln, calling for five hundred thousand men to serve for three years, or during the war, issued May 3d, 1861 found as ready response as the first...Here were organized the First, Second, and Third Regiments of New Jersey Volunteers..."
