Per the House of representatives eport No. 538 of March 6, 1894,
''Mr. Andrew Lutz, a reputable citizen of New York City, was authorized, in August, 1861, by Secretary of War Cameron and the Governor of the State of New York, the late Hon. E. D. Morgan, to raise a regiment to be known as the Morgan Rifles, and that said Lutz was to be colonel of said regiment, he being at that time major of the eighth regiment New York State Volunteer Militia.
“That in pursuance of such authorization, Lutz opened recruiting offices in the cities of New York, Jersey City, Hoboken, Poughkeepsie, Schenectady, Rondout, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg, and recruited for said regiment 417 men, who were regularly mustered into the service of the United States.
