Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New York in the War of the Rebellion, 1861 to 1865 The State of New York has no official history of its record in the War of the Rebellion; to remedy this has been the object of the Compiler; who, after overcoming many difficulties, and giving to the work for eight years almost every moment not occupied by official duties, now lays before the Citizens of the Empire State such a history. In its preparation every book treating of the War of the Rebellion, which, it was supposed, would furnish information relating to the troops of this State, was used, but especially General Humphry´s Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865. Histories of New York organizations and of some of the other States were likewise consulted. The contents of the book were, however, obtained principally from the records of New York Volunteers on file in the office of the Adjutant-General of the State and in the State Bureau of Military Statistics, and from the reports of the Chief of the latter and the Adjutants-General; from Army and Navy registers, reports and orders; from the Provost Marshal General´s reports; from the Medical History of the War; from the Official Records of the War, published by the War Department, and to some extent from the regimental records in the office of the Adjutant-General of the Army. Estimates, where such became necessary, were always made in such maimer that it cannot justly be asserted that too much is claimed for the State. The work is divided in three parts; part I treats of occurrences in, and matters affecting, the State; part II of occurrences in the field, and part III gives sketches of the organizations in the service from this State; the latter are necessarily condensed and do not go into particulars as regards marches, camps and actions on the field of battle, which must be left to regimental historians. In an appendix are reproduced some War Department statements of general interest. Each part and division is preceded by remarks, a perusal of which will explain their scope and intent. To bring the work within reasonable limits, much had to be condensed, but the principal facts and matters of importance have been recorded, and almost all is based on official records. It is, however, proper to say, that in many cases the records were incomplete and insufficient. The Compiler acknowledges his obligations to Generals John G. Farnsworth and Josiah Porter, successive Adjutants-General of the State; and to Mr. J. W. Kirkly, Statistician of the War Department; many officers of Volunteers and other gentlemen have also furnished valuable information, but they are too many in number to mention by name.
