A beautiful 1936 United Confederate Veteran's national reunion badge from Shreveport, Louisiana.  There weren't many veterans in 1936 and since these badges were made by the Greenduck Company, most that did survive have problems with the ribbon.  Greenduck used a cheaper grade of ribbon than Whitehead & Hoag did.  This badge is absolutely beautiful.  The ribbon is in perfect condition.  This is the one you want for your collection.

Col. Beardsley received authority from the state to recruit this
regiment, which was organized at Albany to serve three years. 
The companies of which it was composed were recruited from the
counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Wyoming, Rensselaer,
Washington, St. Lawrence and Clinton during the summer and fall
of 1861, and were mustered into the U. S. service between Sept. 9
and Dec. 13, 1861.

Col. Beardsley was a graduate of West Point, who had seen service
in Florida and Mexico, and the officers generally were well
qualified for their positions.  At the expiration of its term of
service, the original members, except veterans, were mustered out
and the regiment, composed of veterans and recruits, continued in
the service.

On March 29, 1865, it was consolidated into nine companies, the
battalion of the 4th N. Y. cav., having been transferred to this
regiment as Cos. B, E and L.  The regiment was finally mustered
out and honorably discharged on July 17, 1865, at Cloud's mills,
Va.  The 9th left the state on Nov. 26, 1861, for Washington,
where it served during the ensuing winter.

In March, 1862, four companies were detached for service with the
reserve artillery, and the other eight companies did duty on the
Peninsula as train-guard in the Army of the Potomac.  Returning
to Washington, the regiment was mounted in June, 1862, and
assigned to the cavalry brigade, 1st corps, Army of Virginia,
with which it participated in Gen. Pope's campaign.

It formed part of the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac during
the remainder of the year, being frequently in action, losing 26
at Thoroughfare gap in October and 7 at Aldie in November.  It
served through the Chancellorsville campaign in the 1st brigade,
1st cavalry division, Army of the Potomac, and through the
Gettysburg campaign and the subsequent campaigns in Virginia, in
the 2nd brigade, same division.

It was repeatedly in action in 1863, sustaining its heaviest
losses at Beverly ford, Brandy Station, and the operations in the
vicinity of Culpeper, gaining a well earned reputation for
gallantry and efficiency.  On the opening of the campaign against
Petersburg in 1864, it was heavily engaged at the Wilderness and
Spottsylvania and then took part in Sheridan's raid to the James
river.

Returning to the army it was active at Totopotomy and Cold Harbor
and then shared in Sheridan's Trevilian raid, meeting with a loss
of 50 killed, wounded and missing at Trevilian Station, which was
one of the severest losses in that action.  The regiment was next
engaged before Petersburg in June, and in July and August was
active at Deep Bottom, Berryville, Newtown, Cedar creek,
Cedarville, Summit Point, Kearneysville, Smithfield, and many
minor skirmishes.

In the fall, as part of the Army of the Shenandoah, it fought at
the Opequan, Fisher's hill, Winchester, Cedar creek Middletown,
etc., sharing in all the brilliant campaign whereby Sheridan
swept the valley clear of the enemy.  It shared in the final
Appomattox campaign, in which it met with an additional loss of
13 killed, wounded and missing.

During its term of service the regiment lost 8 officers and 89
enlisted men killed and died of wounds; 4 officers and 135
enlisted men, missing; 304 officers and men wounded, including
those fatally wounded; 5 officers and 122 men died of accident,
disease, in prison, etc., the deaths from all causes amounting to
224.  Privates Jeremiah Park and George Reynolds were awarded
medals of honor by the secretary of war.
