Excerpt from A History of the One Hundred and Seventeenth Regiment, N. Y. Volunteers (Fourth Oneida): From the Date of Its Organization, August, 1862, Till That of Its Muster Out, June The book which is now presented to the public, laid its origin in the oft-repeated wish of many members of the regiment that its record might be preserved; and in a personal sympathy with the proposed object. While, therefore, claiming no special adaptation for the work, the writer has been prevailed upon, by these considerations, to undertake it. While unwilling to admit that any other regiment was superior to the 117th, he is not disposed to represent it as peculiarly meritorious; neither he nor the public can ever be unmindful of the valor and valuable services of the 14th, 26th, 97th, and 146th Regiments, nor are any, more ready to accord to them the esteem and gratitude they so abundantly earned than the members of the 4th Oneida.

Not illustrated. 1865 edition. Excerpt: ...the land force of which was placed under command of Gen. Terry, set out from Hampton Roads.on the 9th day of January, 1865. The promptness with which the immense armada was reorganized, and both physically and morally re-enforced, and re-projected against the defences of Wilmington, without the contrasts of 1862, was sufficient to immortalize the name of Gen. Grant. Our start and progress were as follows: The regiment under Col. Daggett, broke camp and moved toward Bermuda Hundred with the brigade, under Gen. Curtis, late in the afternoon of the 8d. The weather was cold and stormy, and of course the roads treacherous and toilsome. The night was spent in a pine woods about a mile from the landing. The storm continued till late in the night; meanwhile the troops of the entire division lay on the wet leaves under the dripping snow burdened pines. In the morning, river transports convoyed them to Fort Monroe, where the fleet was re-assembling. The 1st brigade, consisting then of some fourteen hundred troops, there embarked on board the splendid and capacious ocean steamer, "Atlantic." This provision was made, no doubt, the better to secure the simultaneous, or at least, the systematic landing of the advance brigade, thus averting the confusion which might otherwise result from the tardy arrival of any portion. As every thing appeared to be done as early as possible, so that important interests might not suffer from attention to minor affairs, the troops were on board about four or five days before the fleet moved. After getting under way, a day or two was spent in the vicinity of Beaufort, N. C. The fleet, having arrived in the vicinity during the night, about 8 o'clock on the morning of Friday, January 13th, Gen. Terry's force...
