Regimental History of the 76th New York Volunteer Infantry

by srcurrie

Every reenactor units uses some "Primary Sources". In fact we all hope that primary sources are a large part of a units research. The 76th is no different. We use the regimantal history of the 76th NYVI as a source of much information about the service of this fine Union Regiment.

The 76th's history is full of interesting stories of the original members of the 76th. Company H is mentioned frequently as Captain Swan was often in the thick of battle.

There are other primary sourcesavailable besides the regimental history. The Cherry Valley Museum has actual artifacts from the regiment.
