 The 10th Maine Infantry was mustered in as a unit on October 4, 1861 at Portland, Maine. Most of the men of unit had previously served in the 1st Maine Infantry, a militia unit called up by President Lincoln, which guarded the nation's capital from June to August, 1861. Upon their return, they were re-organized and, with two newly recruited companies, the 10th Maine was created.

 "Major Walker took Companies B and F, and went out on the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. posting B at the Relay House, and F at Annapolis Junction, relieving companies of the 4th Wisconsin."

 A week later the regiment was divided even more, Company B was sent to "a place without a name" five miles up the Washington Branch, Company D was sent to Elkridge Landing; G to the Hanover Switch, and A to Jessup's Cut. These units were moved around on a regular basis, covering the entire railroad from Baltimore to the Annapolis Junction. South of the Annapolis Junction, the 1st Michigan patrolled. North of the Relay House was the 60th New York.

 "Towards noon word was passed that the provisions had arrived, when a grand rush was made, and the boxes handed round to the eager expectants. They were quickly taken into the tents and emptied of their contents - turkey, chicken, bread, cake, apples, preserves, pie - veritable New England pumpkin pies! - &c., &c., in endless profusion...So ended the day - literally a day of thanksgiving and praise, and of cheer to the hearts of the soldiers of the Maine Tenth. God bless the women of Maine!"
+Apart from Thanksgiving dinner, not all meals were as eagerly anticipated and enjoyed. Charles W. Anderson, of the 10th Maine, stated "We have three cooks, and I can go into the cook tent and shit 3 piles that will make better cooks than they are..." Anderson did acknowledge that the soldiers lived better than some locals - "We live like dukes to what the folks does here, I tell you. For they come and beg the pieces of bread that we have left after we are done eating. That is the way with the South—the poor is poor, and they are plenty too, I tell you."
 The 10th Maine's new campground had also been formerly occupied by the 4th Wisconsin, who had started constructing a fort, to be called Fort Dix. The 10th Maine finished the fort, which soon housed three rifled cannon and two howitzers. The location of the fort was "on an eminence about three hundred yards west from the entire settlement" of Elkridge.
