The following is from one of the 95th Warren Rifles, New York volunteers, at Brook’s Station, Virginia, June 23rd 1862:
“Our regiment moved from Washington over two months since, and we had the honor of being the first to land at Acquia Creek since the Rebellion broke out."
"It will be remembered that Acquia Creek was the foulest nest of rebels that could be found on the Potomac."
"It was generally conceded when we landed that our boys would have an opportunity of smelling a little secession powder."
"As a matter of course every man was ready, as we all were anxious to get a few of what might be called genuine specimens of live secessionists, and see if they differed much from northern sympathizers."
"Our regiment came down the Potomac on two steamers, the Emperor and the Catskill, the latter boat the identical old steamer that is well known to the traveling community of Greene and Delaware counties."
"As the steamers neared the wharf a body of rebel cavalry were discovered on the brow of a hill; they appeared to be watching our movements."
"After a short delay in landing, part of the regiment marched up towards the spot where the rebel cavalry were first discovered, but on our approach they ‘skedaddled’ as usual."
"Our regiment is now stationed on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, about six miles from the latter place; we are guarding bridges, building forts, &c."
"Brook’s Station is a small place named after a southern major; there are but few inhabitants, as most of them have fled further south."
"Our boys have pitched their tents in a beautiful oak grove, making it a very comfortable spot."
"Our officers occupy an old-fashioned mansion formerly occupied and owned by this Major Brooks."
"The old mansion and a large old store and tavern , one stone grist-mill, a small building used as a railroad depot, together with a large number of small huts for the slaves and the remnants of an old deserted rebel camp, constitute Brook’s Station."
"The country here is very romantic."
"A few days since I visited a small settlement about 2 ½ miles from our camp, known as Stafford Court House."
"Here there are three or four small houses, a blacksmith shop in the house, and a court house."
"I entered the latter, no trouble to get in, as the ‘skedaddlers,’ when they departed, not only left all the doors open, but tumbled the books and papers about in all sorts of shapes."
"Old documents lay on the floor about a foot thick.”

Mr. D.B. Dunham wrote from before Richmond under the date of June 16th 1862:
“You ask me how Captain Shaffer behaved at Hanover Court House."
"He was just as cool and brave as any man in the regiment; he was always at the head of his company, encouraging the boys."
"There was not a man that flinched, and every one in our company faced the music like men."
"The slaughter was awful, the dead and wounded of both sides lying in heaps, our men and the rebels in some places side by side."
"You could hear the groans of the wounded above the roar of the cannon and musketry; and, what made it very bad for us, we had nothing to eat but some hard crackers, but we are living better now."
"We also draw two rations of whiskey per day, which suits the boys pretty well.”

From the 44th (Ellsworth regiment) T.D. Weed wrote, May 28th, from near Hanover Court House, where Morrill’s division, in executing an order to take possession of the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, had engaged the enemy:
“When our regiment came up General Martindale halted us and ordered Colonel Stryker to take eight companies directly back into the woods, out of which we just came, while one company was deployed to skirmish through on our right."
"The reason of this was, there had been an occasional shot from the enemy from that direction; but no sooner had our men entered the woods than, from about fifty yards distant, a body of rebels fired on us."
"Colonel Stryker immediately ordered the men to return the fire, and then very fortunately doubled-quicked us back into the open field, for no sooner was this done than a full rebel regiment, which we afterward learned to be the 17th North Carolina, appeared in the open field on our left."
"This field is probably about forty rods in width, with thick woods on either side, and extending back as far as we could see."
"Along the woods to our front, and the left of the road, was a trench dug and some earth thrown up, behind which the army might be tolerably secure from the fire of musketry."
"This fact we were not aware of at the time."
"The enemy marched in a beautiful line of battle to the front, displaying their brilliant rebel colors, with express orders from their rebel General Branch to charge on our battery, which was supported at the time by the 25th New York."
"But with all this show of gallantry, approaching to within three hundred yards, they discovered for the first time the 44th; they halted, fired a volley at us, and then ran back in disorder, hardly giving our men time to return the fire."
"But in three minutes more the 28th North Carolina marched down in the same way to within five hundred yards from the road where they continued firing to the last."
"By this time the 44th had formed in a line near the center of the field; the 2nd Maine was in line near the woods, on the right; and the 25th New York in the center, which had already suffered much loss in killed, wounded and missing, during the fight an hour previous, so that we had not more than 2,000 men to resist, for over an hour’s time, six full rebel regiments, as acknowledged to me by the prisoners we afterward took, among whom was a rebel captain."
"Immediately after the first fire of the 28th North Carolina, a sudden and unexpected volley was poured in upon us from all along the edge of the woods to our right."
"In a few minutes the 25th, having lost nearly all of their officers in killed and wounded, fell back into a ravine below the road, and, indeed, this sudden fire from so large a force made all our men stagger for a moment, as well it might; but to our own surprise, the men rallied, and there, exposed to a crossfire, the 44th stood undaunted, nearly every man determined on victory or death."
* * *
“You can imagine how, after more than two hours’ fighting, our anxious hearts were relieved on seeing the 14th New York coming in on double-quick and engaging the enemy in good earnest."
"The scale now turned, and the rebels, whom we had momentarily expected to see charge upon our little number, gave way in all directions and finally fled in the greatest confusion, with our troops fast upon their heels."
“Incidents. – To Lieutenant Colonel Rice, for his cool judgment and his noble daring, a large share of the credit of this battle is due."
"He displayed the greatest intrepidity throughout the action and our men all speak today in the highest terms, of his bravery."
"Major Chapin and Adjutant Knox also stood fearlessly in their places, nobly discharging every duty and exciting admiration by their brave conduct."
"Captain A.W. Shaffer, Company I, is also entitled to high praise for the bravery he displayed, almost losing sight of his rank, in the eagerness with which he pursued the fight, and cheering his men on by words of encouragement and the most inspiring example."
"He will be remembered among his Catskill friends as no coward, but as having done a good service."
"The Catskill boys also deserve a great deal of credit for their manly bearing."
“Many privates, after being wounded, were seen loading and firing their guns, and some in their dying agonies were heard to say, ‘Give it to them boys, don’t you yield.’"
"John J. Robison, Company F, when asked by the chaplain, in his expiring moments, if he wished to leave a single word to his friends, replied, ‘Tell them that I stood my ground, and never yielded an inch until I fell.’"
"Corporal Chandler, Company F, received the fourth wound before he gave up, after which Colonel Rice proposed helping him off, but he answered, ‘No, don’t worry about me, you are needed here to encourage the men.’"
"The poor fellow died of his wounds."
"James Young, Company F, had already received a fatal wound, when the colors were struck down by the enemy’s shot."
"He took them up, and waving them around he said, ‘Here, boys, it is the old flag yet – give it to them.’"
"He only had time to plant it in the ground, when he was struck with another bullet and killed."
"Had I time, I could refer to a number of like instances."
"These few I mention to demonstrate the general spirit of our men during that bloody strife."
"But I will not forget to give all the honor of our victory to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, who decides the issues of all battles."
"I had forgotten to say that our colors bear the honor of 48 bullet holes, which, by the way, we shall be happy to preserve and exhibit to Honorable E. Corning on our final return to Albany.”

The following is from Sergeant A.W. Thomas of the 120th regiment, written at the camp on the east side of Rapidan, May 4th 1863, Monday:
“Thank God, I am still counted as one among the living, after having passed through a most hard fought battle, which commenced, as far as our brigade was concerned, on Saturday afternoon, and raged with great violence until after dark last night."
"The destruction of life was fearful."
"I cannot form much of an idea what our army lost, but it was great, and the rebels’ also."
"Our regiment was on the front line of battle, close to the enemy, in the woods; and on Saturday night the rebels undertook to break through our lines, but they were driven back."
"On Sunday morning, at daylight, they came down on us with their whole force, with the intention of out-flanking us, but in this they failed, yet they broke through our first line of battle, when we fell back on the second; and when they came up we poured in a heavy fire upon them.”

Captain Calvin Shaffer of Company F, 15th New York artillery, wrote from camp before Richmond June 20th 1864:
“Our advance from camp, near Brandy Station, was commenced on the 3rd of May, when we received orders to move at 3 P.M., immediately packed up, broke camp and moved a little south of the station, where we halted for the night, and where we expected to have exchanged our Remingtons for the Springfield, but they had not arrived, and we could not wait, and left again in the early morning, just a ‘peep o’ day,’ reached and crossed the Rapidan about 1 P.M., and continued on until we reached Chancellorsville, where we halted the remainder of the night; moved a short distance again in the morning and halted again, and just after nightfall, received orders to move to the front and join the fifth army corps."
"We moved at one o’clock, reaching the battle ground by break of day, and about 8 A.M. moved into the wilderness and found the rebels there in large force."
"The lamented General Rice was also there with his brigade."
"I lost ten men and one officer wounded in that scrimmage, but happily none killed."
"Some of the rest of the companies were less fortunate in that particular."
"Our brigade left the woods about one o’clock, and was ordered to occupy the rifle pits, relieving the troops then holding them, where we remained all night watching and scanning carefully the woods in our immediate front, expecting every moment to see the enemy approaching, if only to reconnoiter our position; but none appeared – at least we saw none – though our pickets, thrown out 100 yards in front of our line, declared they saw some and fired upon them."
"Be that as it may, they left us in the rifle pits alone."
"The next morning we were relieved and put in the second line, and fresh troops took the first line."
"About nine o’clock, A.M., the ‘Johnnies,’ with one of their peculiar yells, charged upon our lines just upon our right, with the full determination of taking them and securing the possession of the Fredericksburg Turnpike, but never were mortals more sadly mistaken than they."
"A volley of musketry met them at short range, strewing the ground with their killed and wounded, and back they went, pell-mell."
"In the afternoon they tried it again and met a similar reception from our rear guard – the main part of the army having moved to the left, toward Spottsylvania, whither Lee had gone with the most of his army."
"At Spottsylvania we were brought under fire again, and there it was kept up all night, the bullets whistling over, about, and among us, in a very careless manner."
"We lost but few men there however."
"The heaviest of the fighting was over before we reached the ground."
"The rebel rifle pits, from which they had been driven, losing 14 pieces of artillery, were the strongest I have ever seen."
"The killed and wounded of both armies covered the ground where the charge was made, and the trees in the vicinity were literally honey-combed with bullet holes."
"Unexploded shells, fragments of shells, rebel rifles, cartridge boxes, and various articles of the same character, lay about in every direction."
"The rebels had been driven out, and their entire army found it convenient to retire and take up a new position nearer Richmond, that their line of communications might be shorter.”

It is greatly regretted that the incompleteness of the official war records renders impossible a full and complete account of the part taken by the men of Greene county in the great struggle which disturbed the nation during those four sad years, 1861 to 1865.
The people nerved themselves for the terrible work before them, and responded promptly to the calls of the country’s need.
Too much cannot be said in honor of those brave volunteers who left the comforts of their homes, their social and domestic pleasures, and who severed for the time the ties which linked them to their families and friends, to rally for the defense of the institutions under which they had been permitted to enjoy these comforts, pleasures and affections.
Many of these brave boys never returned.
If one goes to the battle-fields of the South he will see where they fell: at Gainesville, at Bull Run, at South Mountain, at Gettysburg and Petersburg – those who were the pride of fond fathers, loving mothers and devoted wives.
What their individual efforts accomplished and what they endured will never be known to the outside world.
So let their memories be the monuments to their patriotism, their heroism and their achievements.
According to the census of 1865 the following New York regiments received volunteers from this county, as shown by the numbers affixed: Infantry – 15th, 76; 43rd, 10; 44th, 19; 80th (old 20th militia), 189; 91st, 47; 102nd, 15; 120th, 188; 144th, 10; 156th, 21; 159th, 9; artillery – 4th, 44; 5th, 43; 7th, 17; 15th, 23; cavalry – 4th, 18; 5th, 8; 18th, 16.
Sixteen enlisted in the United States colored regiment, 35 in regiments of other States and 146 in unknown regiments.

We append a list by towns of Greene county’s volunteers, so far as the most careful research and diligent inquiry has enabled us to complete the same.
Besides the abbreviations, which will be recognized as indicating the different ranks and arms in the service, we have used d. for died, k. for killed, w. for wounded, pro. for promoted and dis. for discharged.
The century is omitted in dates, as ’65 for 1865.
The first date following a soldier’s name, unless otherwise specified, is that of his enlistment.
In very many instances, and notably so in the Hunter and Lexington lists, it has been found impossible to procure reliable data on this point.
Generally men enlisted shortly before they were mustered into the service, and most of Greene county’s men served in some of the following regiments:
The 20th New York militia, after having served three months, was reorganized and mustered into the service from September 20th to October 26th 1861 as the 80th New York infantry.
It participated in the battles of Beverly Fork, Warrenton Springs, Gainesville, Graveton, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Petersburg and Appomattox, and was mustered out January 29th 1866.
The 91st infantry was mustered in from September to December 1861, was engaged in the sanguinary struggles before Port Hudson, and was mustered out July 3rd 1865.
The 95th infantry was mustered in from November 1861 to March 1862, and among the battles in which they shared were Gainesville, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Petersburg and others.
It was mustered out July 16th 1865.
The 102nd infantry was mustered in from November 1861 to April 1862, and shared in the battles of Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta and others.
It was mustered out July 21st 1865.
The 120th infantry was mustered in, August 22nd 1862, and fought at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Spottsylvania, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Petersburg, and other places.
It was mustered out June 3rd 1865.
The 156th infantry was mustered in November 17th 1862, and took part in the battles at Port Hudson, Opequan, Fisher’s Hill, Cedar Creek and other places.
It was mustered out October 23rd 1865.
The 4th cavalry was mustered in from August 10th to November 15th 1861, and among the battles in which it participated were Manassas, Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and Oak Hill.
The 15th engineers (originally an infantry regiment) was organized as an engineer regiment in 1862, and mustered out July 2nd 1865.
