There is men enough too. Regiment after Regiment. I am not discontented in the least. I see no hardship but what I can endure for the good of my country...\" The 144th Regiment of the New York Volunteer Infantry signed up its first recruit, Bishop Asbury Cook, on August 12, 1862, and Cook remained with the regiment until it mustered out in July, 1865. The letters contained in this volume span Cook's career with the regiment. Letters written by Cook to his wife, Louisa Maria (Alexander) Cook are grouped by month and describe the daily activities and everyday concerns of the average soldier. Each month's section contains a chronology of events for the Civil War nationwide, a chronology of events within the 144th Regiment, and a history of the regiment.

In collecting his data, Dr. Fitch combined personal interviews with the oldest settlers of the region and their descendants with primary source material including family records, unrecorded deeds, wills, cemetery records, early court proceedings and newspapers, and unpublished manuscripts, most of these prior to 1850.

The result was 43 published volumes of service records from 280 regiments, battalions and batteries of infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineers. Over 393,000 names of Civil War officers and soldiers were listed along with their service records. Now, a hundred years later, this set of rosters is invaluable to persons seeking to document their family history and find their genealogical roots. Researchers wanting to use these important service records quickly run into two problems. First, the books are hard to find. Complete sets of 43 volumes are rare and expensive. Second, the set of rosters was printed with no index. Finding all references to a single soldier among 51,000 pages is a daunting task, especially since many soldiers served in more than one regiment, either voluntarily through multiple enlistments or incidentally through consolidations and reorganizations of regiments. With the publishing of the New York Soldiers in the Civil War, the researcher's task has suddenly become easier. An alphabetical, columnar format lists the soldier's name and regiment(s). Researchers will now be able to identify all the regiments in which a particular soldier may have served. They can then search out additional material in other sources on those regiments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard A.

It developed into an outstanding, distinguished unit of highest discipline, efficiency and morale. The history of the squadron divides naturally into several periods. The first covers the inception and joyous early years of the original Troop A; the birth of the squadron and its sturdy growth and colorful development; the Spanish-American War; and a period of nearly two decades during which the command devolved upon officers trained in its own ranks. This period culminated in Federal service on the Mexican border. Following this came the troop's dedication to the grim, drab and exhausting realities of service in World War I, with full and effective performance of every assigned undertaking. During that conflict, the unit constituted the 105th Machine Gun Battalion, 27th Division. Squadron A members were well educated and witty; their stories are lively and exciting. This volume covers training, athletics, activities, small arms practice and competitions, practice marches, tactical exercises, actual maneuvers, escort duty, parades and reviews, as well as service on the Mexican border, in the Spanish-American War and World War I, \"The Depot Troop\" (later, Squadron A, New York Guard), the Roll of Honor and the Roll of Service for World War I. Additional papers detail the chronology of Squadron A, the Armory, the Association of Ex-Members of Squadron A, verses and songs of the squadron and a list of former members of Squadron A. Illustrated with wonderful illustrations and photos, this volume is the perfect companion to the 2005 publication, Squadron A: An Informal History of Its Second Half-Century of Service: A Sequel to the History of Its First Fifty Years, by Edward L.

It has provided protection and contributed to the economic development of the state of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis short history is only the second book written on this important historic site. It covers all periods of Fort Ontario's rich history from the French and Indian War until the end of World War II. It contains a list of all units serving at the fort, and families that lived at the fort after the war. Illustrations, photographs, a bibliography, and two appendices enhance the text. Fort Ontario also contains images of original paintings of the fort and its troops that are only available in this book. The fort remained in British hands until the Jay Treaty in 1796. The Fort saw action twice during the War of 1812. It saw no action during the Civil War, but did receive and train troop. Troops from Fort Ontario fought in the Philippines during the Spanish American War. The Fort was enlarged in 1909 and became the Flower Medical Unit, training Army doctors, nurses, and medics; and treating wounded troops from the battlefields of France. Between World Wars, Fort Ontario's mission changed to training National Guard troops and Artillery. Its current mission is as a historic site. In this role it contributes to the economy of the state of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge A.

One becomes aware of his feelings and emotions about warfare: the closeness of cavalry combat and the uncertainties of the cavalryman's day-to-day survival, for such highly mobile units were usually the vanguard of assaults.

Robinson and the Story of the 89th New York Volunteer Infantry","description":"\u003cp\u003ePresident Lincoln's call for volunteers to fight for the restoration of the Union was answered by common men throughout the United States. William A. Robinson was one of them - a simple farmer and a family man from Delaware County, New York, who enlisted for a three year term in Co. I of the 89th NY Volunteer Infantry in the fall of 1861. Over the course of those three years Robinson and his fellows in the 89th would see service throughout the South, participating in engagements at Antietam, South Mountain, Fredericksburg, Suffolk, VA, the Federal siege of Fort Sumpter (1863), Cold Harbor, Petersburgh and Fair Oaks. Robinson wrote home to his wife Mary as often as the rigors of soldiering would allow, and over 100 of these letters have survived to the present day. Robert J. Taylor has transcribed Robinson's Civil War letters in their entirety, supplemented by a history of the 89th NY with accompanying rosters and an index of full names. The letters describe the everyday experiences of the soldier in the field, alternating between the monotony of camp life and the thrill of combat. More important perhaps are his references to the other men in the regiment, noting illness, injuries in battle, hospitalization, deaths, court martial, desertion, the arrival of new recruits and the dismissal of veterans. Four appendices round out the text: \"Military Service of the Men of Company I,\" including date of enlistment, rank, age, date and circumstances of death or discharge, and other biographical information wherever known; \"Regimental Staff Officers,\" noting the same; complete rosters for Companies A-H, and K; and a \"Compiled List of Men Crossing the Rappahanock River, Dec. 11, 1862.\" With a bibliography and three portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert J.

New York forces were divided into Lines, Levies, and Militias, and these units, combined with men from coastal privateers, totaled 43,645, but if we add the 8,237 men named in the Land Bounty Papers in this second edition, a total force of nearly 52,000 men is arrived at, all of whom are conveniently located in the index to the first volume.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome three years after the publication of the second edition of \u003ci\u003eNew York in the Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, the State Comptroller's Office published a second volume, or Supplement, of \u003ci\u003eNew York in the Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, in effect, a compilation of the documents and records in the Comptroller's Office that were used in compiling the rolls and rosters in the first volume.
