September 16, 1861 – Big “Dan”

The big black dog, familiarly known as “Dan,’’ owned by Frank B. Hutchinson, has been admitted to the Fourth Regiment, and will prove a valuable and efficient soldier. Should he be promoted to Corporal he will bear his honors nobly. He goes with the Manchester Cadets, Captain Newell’s company. We have seldom seen a more intelligent fellow of his race. He followed No. 6 Engine for two years, and is a well known fire dog.
