Maryland 883 The greater part of these arms were issued to Volunteer Militia companies outside of Baltimore,usingthewarehouseofwoolford&Pattersoninthatcityasadistributionpoint.On 19 April 1861 this warehouse was broken into by a pro-Southern Baltimore mob and everything there taken-some 370 infantry muskets and a small number of cavalry arms and accouterments.TheseweaponswereusedtodispersetheWashingtonBrigadeofPhiladelphia when that unamed and hapless command tried to march through Baltimore. Some of the weapons in the hands of the Baltimore Volunteer companies found their way into Virginia, and most of the remainder were seized on the govemor's orders in June. This forestalled any large shipments of small amis to Marylanders in the Confederate army and providedasmallstockforthenewregimentsbeingraised.Thereafterthestateappearstohave played no part in procuring arms for its volunteer and home guard commands save through U.S. Amy sources. It ended the war with little or no stock of serviceable shoulder arms. During the reorganization of 1867 the state was obliged to purchase ams for its new MarylandNationalGuardinadditiontothefieldartillerymaterialitobtainedfromthegeneral government. The small arms and related accouterments secured were: 7,943 U.S. rifle muskets (Model 1863?) 7,354 sets infantry belts and boxes 3,000 cavalry sabers (Model 1860?) 3 ,OcO cavalry waist belts 500 light artillery sabers 500 light artillery waist belts All these items were U.S. regulation patterns, including the belt plates. All were won until after 1872, when our period ends. 2+ 'usA mqulc~d zS <¢.A i;I`^r_tl!to_/ .
