Annotation
[1] AD, IHi. Representative James S. Rollins had been a major in the Black Hawk War. His recommendations of Colonel Guitar of the Ninth Missouri State Militia Cavalry came to naught. Lincoln had nominated Guitar as brigadier general of Volunteers on January 19, but the nomination was not confirmed by the Senate. As of June 27, 1863, Guitar became brigadier general in the Missouri Militia.
