註釋"In September 1861 the men of Company A enlisted for three years in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Initially their regiment was intended to serve on the Eastern Shore of Maryland as Home Guard. On August 16, 1862, those men were discharged after only eleven months of service. Some claim that their discharge was the result of the men's refusal to cross the state line into Eastern Virginia. A Year in the Guard attempts to disprove that claim. The story of Company A begins with their enlistment and encampment in Cambridge, Maryland, and follows them through their participation in the invasion into Eastern Virginia. Their duties and camp life are illustrated through newspapers and personal accounts, while military records suggest that the men in fact did not refuse orders and were honorably discharged. A Year in the Guard is a work that sheds light on a previously unexplored aspect of Delmarva history."--
