111th New York (American Civil War)

My first ever video, so sorry it's not great! Just a short tribute to the 111th New York Infantry. The music is by the Camp Chase Fife and Drum band, and the track is "Jefferson and Liberty".

@ViccardXViccc They certainly did, and it's always been a favourite of mine since I first heard it on that movie :) And thanks :)

@jayhoop82 Isn't the song called "Stonewall Jackson's Way"?

[jayhoop82]

@GeneralKenobiSIYE No sorry this isn't Stonewall Jacksons Way, look that tune up and you'll see (or hear rather) the difference :) Cheers, Jay.

@fokshill My first duty is to the US. Army, where I have spent 35 years of my life in. The past 30 years, I have read on the War of Rebellion. The past 12 years I moved my family into Washington DC, so I could get as close as possible to the National Archives and Library of Congress. My research team has discovered many interesting things at both buildings, currently less then 25 people know the real truth of the War of Rebellion (Official Name).

@burkew40 I had family members serve in the 24th, 61st, 102nd, 110th, 126th, 141st, 148th, 169th and 184th. (All New York Regiments). In the 126th New York, (George Prouty, Companies A and K) and his brother (Stephen Prouty,Company D). Stephen was wounded at Gettysburg, but the wound was not mortal, for he filed out a pension on September 9th, 1892. Thus, we know he survived. Out of 200ish Prouty's that fought for the Union, around 76 died from all causes.

@rebel2276 Yes, they were captured. The 126th(?), which came in with the 111th, was captured by Stonewall Jackson's brigade at the high ground. The 111th escaped some shame because they were swept down on. It was a shame for the 126th, because their monument at Gettyburg was not at the angle, as the 111th's was, because of Harper's Ferry. Ironic because they had just been issued arms, and Zuoave troops that were veterans fled, and little shame came to them. "The Harper's Ferry Cowards"

My great-grandfather, Levi White, served honorably in I Company, 111th NY. I am very proud of his accomplishments. He received a battlefield commission in 1964. I feel his blood coursing through my veins, and am thankful he was my ancestor. Huzzah!

@mackshayster I do believe your post should be in the opposite. "He is confirmed dead with proof". Why is the US.Government holding back one single picture? Prove to the world they killed him. Hence, why I know they lied, no picture, no proof, no confirmation. If you can provide a picture, website, newspaper etc, I will stand corrected.

[mackshayster]

@rebel2276 let sleeping dogs lie. he's dead until i see proof otherwise
