notes.--Recruited in
Ulster and
Greene counties (Tenth Senatorial District), and organized at
Kingston, N. Y. It was mustered into service on August 22, 1862, with 900 men, and was ordered immediately to
Washington, where it went into Camp near the
Chain Bridge.
It was attached, soon after, to the famous Excelsior Brigade, in which command it was under fire at
Fredericksburg, where a few of the men were wounded.
The regiment was actively engaged at
Chancellorsville — then in
Berry's Division — exhibiting a commendable steadiness and efficiency.
Its loss in that battle was 4 killed, 49 wounded, and 13 missing. At
Gettysburg — in
Humphreys's Division — it became involved in the disaster of the second day's battle, but like the rest of the Third Corps, it fell back in good order to the second line, fighting as it went.
Its casualties in this battle aggregated 30 killed, 154 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 203. Eight officers were killed and 9 wounded in that battle.
The Third Corps having been merger into the Second, the One Hundred andl Twentieth was placed in
Brewster's Brigade of
Mott's Division, and from that time fought under the Second Corps flags, the men, however, retaining their old Third Corps badge.
Mott's Division having been discontinued, the
Excelsior Brigade was placed in
Birney's (3d) Division, becoming the Fourth Brigade.
General mott succeeded eventually to the command of this division, and
Colonel McAllister to that of the brigade.
At the
Wilderness the regiment lost 5 killed, 48 wounded, and 8 missing; at the battle on the
Boydton Road, 8 killed, 30 wounded, and 21 missing; at
Hatcher's Run, 6 killed, 32 wounded, and 46 missing. Mustered out June 3, 1865.
