- Lot Description
Lot of 10 CDVs of identified officers and enlisted men that served with the 3rd and 12th New York Cavalry Regiments.
Formed in late July of 1861, the 3rd NY Cavalry was recruited by James Van Alen. He resigned in April 1862 and was succeeded by Simon H. Mix, who became one of the most intrepid and efficient cavalry leaders of the war. Sadly, Colonel Mix fell before Petersburg in June 1864. The unit was assigned to the Eastern Theater where it saw action at places such as Petersburg, Bermuda Hundred, Weldon RR, and more. The 3rd NY ceased to exist on July 21, 1865 when it was consolidated with the 1st NY Mounted Rifles to form the 4th NY Provisional Cavalry.
Subjects from the 3rd NY Cavalry include: standing view of Major George Lewis, with sword in hand, by Brady, Washington; bust view of Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Pierce, by Taylor & Bacon, Rochester; bust view of Captain Irwin Starr, signed on verso; bust view of Captain James H. Bailey, signed below portrait, with T.W. Clark, Norfolk, VA backmark; and full standing view of 1st Lieutenant James R. Chamberlin, with sword.
In October 1862, Colonel James W. Savage began to recruit soldiers for the 12th NY Cavalry, which was organized at New York City to serve three years. The regiment left the state by detachments, the first leaving in May 1863, and was entirely in the field by December 1863, serving in the Department and District of North Carolina, 18th Corps; with the Provisional Corps from March 1865; and with the 23d Corps from April 1865 through July 1865. Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Philip G. Vought, the 12th NY was honorably discharged and mustered out at Raleigh, NC.
