This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

The 44th and 12th New York Regiments At Gettysburg-- Part 2: 44th Casualties 111 of 460.
This is quite an impressive monument by looking at pictures of it.
The 4th New York was commanded at Gettysburg by Colonel James C, Rice who then took over command of the brigade at the battle.Freeman Conner then took command of the 44th. It brought 460 men into the battle, losing 26 killed, 82 wounded and 3 missing.
Two companies of the 12th New York were in action at the battle: Companies D and E and brought 116 men onto the field, suffering no casualties. Commander of the 12th was Captain Henry W. Ryder
