A great badge from the reunion of the 146th New York Infantry held in 1907. A great drop with a Civil War veteran is suspended from the hanger by a yellow ribbon. A long yellow ribbon is behind the celluloid drop. Written in silver on the ribbon is "45th Anniversary of the 146th Regiment N.Y.S. Vol. at Clinton, N.Y. Oct. 19, 1907".
The 146th, known as the 5th Oneida, or Garrard's Tigers,
recruited in the county of Oneida, was organized at Rome, and
there mustered into the U. S. service for three years on Oct. 10,
1862. In May and June, 1863, it received by transfer the three
years' men of the 5th (the famous Duryee Zouaves) and the 17th N. Y. infantry, and in 1864, a few additions from the 2nd, 9th,
16th, 18th, 30th, 34th, 37th and 44th N. Y.
The regiment left the state on Oct. 11, 1862, for Washington and
in November, joined the Army of the Potomac at Snicker's gap,
Va., where it was placed in Warren's (3d) brigade, Sykes' (2nd)
division, 5th corps, a division chiefly composed of regulars. It
marched with this command to Fredericksburg, where it fought its
first battle, losing 1 mortally wounded and 17 missing or
captured.
At Chancellorsville the regiment suffered heavily on the first
day of the fight and acquitted itself with honor, losing 50
killed, wounded and missing, and at Gettysburg it again fought
gallantly, losing 28 killed and wounded. Col. Garrard was made
brigadier-general for gallant conduct at Gettysburg. The
regiment participated with little loss in the subsequent Virginia
campaigns, ending with that of Mine Run, being present at
Rappahannock and Bristoe Stations.
Col. Fox in his account of this regiment says: "The regiment
encountered its severest fighting at the battle of the
Wilderness, May 5, 1864, where it suffered a terrible loss, not
only in killed and wounded, but in captured men. Col. Jenkins
and Maj. Curran were killed in that bloody encounter, while the
total loss of the regiment was 20 killed, 67 wounded and 225
captured or missing.
In 1865, the regiment was in Winthrop's (1st) brigade, Ayres'
(2nd) division, and was prominently engaged in that command at
the battles of White Oak road, and Five Forks, Gen. Winthrop
being killed in the latter engagement while leading a successful
charge of the brigade.
The 146th was well drilled and at one time wore a conspicuous
Zouave uniform. Gen. Joseph Hayes, its last brigade commander,
in taking leave of the regiment wrote: 'associated for a long
time with the infantry of the regular army, the 146th yields the
palm to none.'"
The regiment took part in a number of important battles among
which were Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg,
Williamsport, Md., Wilderness, Spottsylvania (including the
engagements at Piney Branch Church, Laurel Hill and Gayle's
house), North Anna, Totopotomy, Cold Harbor, siege of Petersburg,
Weldon railroad, White Oak ridge and Five Forks.
It was also present at Rappahannock Station, Bristoe Station,
White Oak swamp, Poplar Spring Church, Hatcher's run and
Appomattox, the loss in the final Appomattox campaign, being 65
killed wounded and missing. Commanded by Col. Grindlay, the
regiment was mustered out near Washington, D. C., July 16, 1865.
Its total enrollment during service was 1,707, of whom 7 officers
and 126 men were killed and mortally wounded; 2 officers and 187
men died of disease and other causes, a total of 324, of whom 1
officer and 87 men died in the hands of the enemy.
