Excerpt from History of the Seventh Regiment, National Guard, State of New York, During the War of the Rebellion: With a Preliminary Chapter on the Origin and Early History of the Regiment, a Summary of Its History Since the War, and a Roll of Honor, Comprising Brief Sketches of the Services Rendered by Members of the Regiment in the Army and Navy of the United State In the southerly corner of Fulton and Nassau Streets, in the city of New York, there stood, half a century ago, the famous Stoneall's "Shakespeare Tavern." To that favorite hostelry, as a birthplace, can be traced more than one of the institutions and societies now flourishing in the New York of our day; and thither we must go back some twoscore years for the origin of the "Seventh Regiment New York State National Guard." In one view, we should resort to a still earlier period in the history of the State and of the Republic to find the fountain-head of the Seventh Regiment.
