The enemy at our door - In 1861 the Civil War broke out and the following call to arms was written by Dr Thomas E. Thomas when a southern guerilla force of some thousands was camped upon the hills opposite of Cincinnati ready
for attack upon the city:
"Men of Montgomery County: An audacious and desparate Rebel army is rapidly concentrating on the southern border of Ohio, which threatens even our immediate neighborhood. It comes not to attack a hostile army, as none has
existed here; but to rob and murder, to ravage and burn, to spread havoc, desolation, and death over our homes and firesides.
"Will the hundreds of thousands of men, who fill the rich Miami Valleys, suffer a few thousand marauding rebels and traitors to carry fire and sword amongst them? *** Every moment is precious. ***
"Let every man who loves his country, his family, or even his property, and who is capable of any military service, secure such weapon as may be available, and hold himself in readiness for marching orders. Assemble with the
rifle , or without it, in each school district; form yourself into companies. Elect your officers, and report instantly your numbers and equipment to the Military Committee, at Dayton. Prepare ammunition! Lose not an hour!
