    Generalsecond Bullrun Campaign Under Pope That the Whole Corps Had to Be Detached from the Army of the Potomac for Rest and Recuperation

    PITTSBURGH VOLUNTEERS WITH SICKLES' EXCELSIOR BRIGADE Bruce Sutherland PART 3 Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville Heintzelman's Third Corps had been so badly mauled in the battles on the Peninsula under McClellan and in the GeneralSecond BullRun campaign under Pope that the whole Corps had to be detached from the Army of the Potomac for rest and recuperation. The three divisions of the Corps were assigned to that quiet sector known as the Defenses of Washington. General Hooker's old division, the Second, was placed temporarily under the command of General Grover while Colonel Nelson Taylor commanded the Excelsior Brigade, subject to General Sickles' return. Early in September 1862, the Excelsior regiments were en- camped about two miles southwest of Alexandria near Fort Lyon. They had fallen back from the Chantilly battlefield and as William Wiley of the Friend Rifles describes it, "We only went a short dis- tance beyond that field when we again laid on our arms, and it was raining and very cold. No sleeping was done that night. The next morning we got a loaf of bread and started off again towards Fairfax and then left itand went out scouting through the country until dark when we camped again on a beautiful farm and where we lived well for that night on corn, potatoes and apples. At daylight, the morning of the 3rd, we were on the move towards Alexandria ... J>1 The column moved through thickly wooded country toward the Potomac at Pohick Church and by early afternoon the troops were on the river road which skirted Mount Vernon.

    Local Government Records Useful in Family History Research by Warren F. Broderick Archives Technical Information Series #31 2002 Researchers of family history and genealogy generally are aware that some local government records may contain information concerning their ancestors. These researchers are often unaware, however, of the wide array of local records that they may consult, and where these useful and important records may be found. This information leaflet was prepared to inform the ever increasing number of persons engaged in family history research, and to illustrate for local officials which sorts of records comprise the most valuable sources of genealogical information. Some series of both federal and state records contain important family history information as well. For information on records held by the State Archives, consult Leaflet #1 for Records in the New York State Archives Useful for Genealogical Research or contact State Archives’ Reference Services Unit, Albany, NY 12230; phone: (518) 474-8955. The following types of records are found at local governments in New York State and are useful for local community historians and scholarly researchers: Birth, Death and Marriage Records (1847–1852, 1880–present) While these officially are considered state government records, official birth, death and marriage records (often referred to as “vital records or vital statistics”) are maintained locally by clerks and/or registrars of vital statistics, acting as agents of the State Commissioner of Health. Other than during a brief period between 1847 and 1852, these records generally were not created by local governments in New York State until 1880. Some cities hold vital records dating from the 1860s and 1870s.

The Princess and “The Gut” 89-01830. Private Donor. Netherlands Royal Family Visit to Albany Photo Collection. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.

    The Excelsior Brigade and the Civil War

    To Bleed for a Higher Cause: The Excelsior Brigade and the Civil War Francis Butler History 390: Honors New York and the Civil War December 4, 2012 Butler 1 Joseph Hopkins Twichell, the Chaplain of the Excelsior Brigade, wrote that as he saw the destruction caused during the Battle of Williamsburg all he could think was, “’sin entered into the world and death through sin.”1 The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history; it was a war that claimed the lives of nearly 700,000 Americans and came close ripping the nation asunder.2 Describing why men volunteered to fight and die during this bloody war, Abraham Lincoln stated that the Civil War soldier served because of his “patriotism, political bias, ambition, personal courage, love of adventure, [and] want of employment.”3 Indeed, during the Civil War, the armies of the Union and the Confederacy were fed most often by volunteers. It were these men who enlisted at the war’s inception, and reenlisted when their terms of service expired, who did most of the fighting and dying on the Civil War’s many sanguine battlefields. As James McPherson states, internal motivations such as patriotism, a sense of duty and honor, courage, moral convictions, or want of adventure had to be powerful inspirations for the Civil War soldier to volunteer since the majority of Civil War soldiers chose to fight. 4 Once in the army, Civil War soldiers were continually motivated and supported by the bonds that they shared with each other, by their Christian faith, and by the inspiration of brave officers.5 By analyzing who the men of New York’s Excelsior Brigade, comprised of the 70th through 74th New York volunteer regiments, were and what they experienced during the war, it is possible to understand how patriotism, duty, and faith inspired soldiers to serve and how faith, camaraderie, courage, connection to home, and inspiring leadership enabled these soldiers to 1 Joseph Hopkins Twichell to Edward Twichell, May 9, 1862, , The Civil War Letters of Joseph Hopkins Twichell, eds.

This plan and other documents related to the Mental Health Documentation Project are available on the New York State Archives web site: Click on Rediscovering New York, then on Mental Health. A Strategic Plan for Documenting Mental Health in New York State The story of mental health in New York State is a compelling and critical part of our history as New Yorkers. But significant elements of that history are in danger of being lost. We have very limited information that reflects the lives and perspectives of people diagnosed with psychiatric conditions or their families; the social workers, medical personnel, and support staff, who provide services and assistance; the state, local, private and community institutions and organizations run by professional, non-professional, and recipient-controlled groups; the range of research and treatment philosophies and approaches; and policy and legislation. Significant developments happened in New York during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but critical developments also follow World War II, and continue today — for example, widespread use of psychiatric medications, deinstitutionalization, establishment of civil rights and legislation to protect mental health service recipients, and the emergence of self-help strategies.. Changes in scientific and popular perceptions of mental health have merged with the economic and political forces of each period to shape mental health policy and legislation, diagnosis and treatment, organizations ranging from large, state-operated institutions to community support groups, and the private lives of millions of New Yorkers.
