189th New York Infantry.

Excerpt from History of the One Hundred and Eighty-Ninth Regiment of New York Volunteers Only the outline history of a single regiment is here giv en. I have not attempted any account of the philosophical connection and design of the general movements in which my regiment participated, except such as was purely inci dental. I have aimed to gratify their request to give them a souvenir of our experiences during our term of service. The plan that seemed best adapted to this, and to the expense and limits prescribed for the book, was to select and narrate such a suggestive series of events as would cluster, and thus by association revive all the memories of the year. It is hoped any member of the command will find each historical sentence a text from which he may entertain his children and grand-children with stories of his soldier-deeds and suf ferings which otherwise might have fallen into oblivion.
