Description

Contained on this book is the history of the 134th New York Volunteer Infantry, a Civil War regiment raised in Schoharie and Schenectady Counties in upstate New York. Told in large part within the words of the lads who made up the regiment, this book tells their story from the regiment’s original organization in the summertime of 1862, during the first deadly winter in Virginia, and directly to Gettysburg, where the 134th suffered some of the worst losses of any Union regiment present. Regardless of losing more than half its strength in that battle, the 134th went directly to play a vital role within the relief of Chattanooga, the capture of Atlanta, Sherman’s March to the Sea, and the invasion of the Carolinas.
