This company was formed during the Civil War for the purpose of aiding the State in any emergency that night arise, but for some reason they were never issued any arms, although Captain Brown sent two requests to the Adjutant General's Office. The Adjutant General Report of 1863 failed to list the Amador Hussars among the organized militia companies of the State, and it is assumed that t he unit was disbanded during the year of 1862.
