Lot Description

Printed broadside featuring spread winged eagle near top, 11.5 x 18.25 in. (sight), framed, 13.25 x 19.75 in. To Arms! / More Yates Co. Metal Wanted!, the broadside appeals to the patriotic young men of New York to rally once again for the country and the flag, in an attempt...to raise a Volunteer Company in Yates County, to be attached to the New Southern Tier Regiment! This would result in the raising of the 126th New York Volunteers. Signed in print by Recruiting Officer R.A. Bassett, June 11, 1862, Dundee, NY.

The 126th New York Volunteers left the state on August 26, 1862, and took part in its first fighting during the siege of Harper's Ferry, receiving the brunt of the enemy attack and suffering a large share of the casualties. The men of the 126th were part of the 12,400 prisoners of war surrendered on September 15. They were immediately paroled and spent three months at Camp Douglas in Chicago, IL, awaiting notice of exchange. As soon as notice was received in December, the regiment returned to Union Mills, VA. The 126th NY was a critical part of the battle of Gettysburg. Situated between the Copse of Trees and Ziegler’s Grove on Cemetery Ridge, the regiment was a significant element in repelling Pickett's Charge, fending off Trimble and Pettigrew's forces. At Gettysburg, the 126th lost over 15 percent of its men. The regiment went on to take part in Auburn Ford, Bristoe Station, Wilderness, Po River, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Totopotomy, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, siege of Petersburg, Deep Bottom, Hatcher's Run, Boydton Road, Farmville, and Appomattox. The 126th NY was mustered out at Alexandria, VA, June 3, 1865.
