Dubuque’s finest – America’s first
Organized in Dubuque, the Governor’s Greys was the first military company in the United States pledged to the service of the nations at the start of the Civil War. The company was called to duty on May 14, 1861. In 1885 the Greys were made a company of the National Guard and assigned to the fourth regiment as Company A. This photo was taken in 1889 at Camp Sherman in Waterloo, Iowa.
