Contained in 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 largely in the words of the men who made up the regiment, this book tells their story from the regiment's original organization in the summer of 1862, through the first deadly winter in Virginia, and on to Gettysburg, where the 134th suffered among the worst losses of any Union regiment present. Despite losing more than half its strength in that battle, the 134th went on to play a significant role in the relief of Chattanooga, the capture of Atlanta, Sherman's March to the Sea, and the invasion of the Carolinas.
