Regimental History
NEW YORK
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIRST INFANTRY
(Three Years)


One Hundred and Fifty-first Infantry.-Col., William Emerson;
Lieut.-Cols., Ewen A. Bowen, Thomas M. Fay, Charles Bogardus;
Majs., Thomas M. Fay, James A. Jewell.

This regiment, recruited in the counties of Niagara and Monroe,
was organized at Lockport where it was mustered into the U. S.
service Oct. 22, 1862, for three years. It received the men
recruited for Col. Franklin Sidway's Buffalo regiment, which
served to complete its organization.

The regiment left the state on the 23d and was stationed at
Baltimore until the following February, when it was ordered to
West Virginia, serving there and at South mountain, Md., until
July 10, 1863, when it joined the 3d corps and was assigned to
the 3d brigade, 3d (French's) division, in which it was present
at the action of Wapping heights.

In August it was placed in the 1st brigade, same division and
corps, and was present, but met with no loss, at McLean's ford,
Catlett's station and Kelly's ford. During the Mine Run campaign
it was sharply engaged at Locust Grove, losing 60 killed, wounded
and missing, and upon returning from this campaign went into
winter quarters at Brandy Station.

When the 3d corps was discontinued in March, 1864, the 151st was
placed in the 1st brigade, 3d (Ricketts) division, 6th corps,
with which it did its full share in the fighting from the
Wilderness to Petersburg, being engaged at the Wilderness,
Spottsylvania, North Anna, Totopotomy, and Cold Harbor.

On July 6, during Early's invasion of Maryland it moved with its
division to Baltimore and was heavily engaged at Monocacy, losing
118 killed, wounded and missing. As a part of the Army of the
Shenandoah it took part in Sheridan's brilliant campaign in the
Valley, fighting at Charlestown, Leetown, Smithfield, Opequan,
Fisher's hill and Cedar creek, with a loss of 38 in the campaign.

In December it returned to the Petersburg trenches and was
stationed near the Weldon railroad through the winter. On Dec.
21, 1864, its thinned ranks were consolidated into a battalion of
five companies. In April, 1865, it took part in the final
assault on the works of Petersburg and the ensuing hot pursuit of
Lee's army, fighting its last battle at Sailor's creek.

Its loss in the Appomattox campaign was 18 killed and wounded.
The regiment was finally mustered out near Washington, D. C.,
June 26, 1865, under command of Lieut.-Col. Bogardus. It lost
during service 5 officers and 101 men killed and mortally
wounded; 1 officer and 99 men died of disease and other causes;
total deaths, 206.
