Difference between revisions of "Knox during the Civil War"

Latest revision as of 19:56, 3 July 2013

In the war of the rebellion, from her somewhat remote situation, this little town responded patriotically to the call of the government for volunteers. Seventy-seven volunteers went to fight in the battles of the Union. Many of them never came back to receive the great honors that awaited them.^[1]

Deciding who qualifies to be listed as a "Knox" veteran is challenging. The "77" volunteers refers to the 77 names listed in Howell and Tenney, but all they have in common is that they enlisted in Knox. Some were not born or Knox, or never lived in Knox. Below is a large list of soldiers associated with Knox in some way.

A very large number of men from Knox were in the 7th Regiment of the New York Heavy Infantry. In Carnival of Blood Keating discusses the "enlistment bounty" these men got for enlisting and passing the physical, $50 from the state and $50 from Albany County, more money than they had ever seen before.

On page 3, Keating wrote:

In the rural hamlet of Knox, in farm country ten miles west of Albany, young Michael Barkley gained a commission as first lieutenant in Company K, primarily because he was a recent college graduate, but he had also managed to convince twenty-one men from the small community to enlist in the Regiment. His recruiting efforts were then a cause for admiration and celebration, during the patriotic euphoria which gripped the Northern States in the summer of 1862. Three years later, Barkley and sixteen of the twenty-one were dead, and the mood would be far different.

Regiments in which men from Knox served

7th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery
