Thomas Middleton 1st Lt Co. A 1st California Mountaineers Battalion A rare unit. This battalion was raised during the year 1863 under a special call by Gen. Wright commanding the department of the Pacific, for service against the Indians in Humboldt County and the northwestern portions of the state. Cos. A, B. C and E were mustered in at Fort Humboldt, D at Fort Gaston, Humboldt County, and F at San Francisco.
