The 34th Kentucky Infantry was organized at Louisville, Kentucky, on September 26th, 1861, under Lieutenant Colonel Henry Dent, and was then designated as the “First Battalion Louisville Provost Guards.” The authority for its organization was received from General Anderson then commanding the Department of Kentucky and the promise was made to the privates that they should receive twenty dollars a month during enlistment. This order created much dissension in the battalion, as they had already received two months pay at the rate of $20 per month. An appeal was made to the Honorable Secretary of War, by Colonel Dent, as a result the men were allowed the choice of serving for the regular pay of $13 per month or mustering out.
