- Lot Description
Cornelius Van Buren who enlisted at New York City on 10 July 1861 as a private in Co. G, 5th New York Infantry—better known as Duryee’s Zouaves. According to muster rolls, he deserted in October 1862 following the Battle of Antietam. The 5th New York participated in the siege of Yorktown, the fighting near Hanover Court House, the Seven Days’ battles, losing at Gaines’ Mill 55 killed, 37 wounded and 15 missing, took a prominent part in the battle of the second Bull Run, where, of 490 members present, it lost 117 killed or mortally wounded, 23 per cent, of those engaged. Four page pencil letter, datelined; Camp Federal Hill Baltimore, Maryland, November 5, 1861 written to his brother Minton. In part Our company was on guard Sunday and I had the same post that I had the last time we were on guard. I was at the Colonel’s tent from 9 a.m. till taps. I then went to my tent thinking that I would have a chance to write a letter but I was mistaken. I found the tent was filled with sergeants and corporals. ... Bene B. is pretty good on the growl. I heard him mention my name a few times saying that I was favored a little too much. I think he is a little jealous about my getting in the Orderly tent. ... Every morning the newsboys rush into camp and sing out, ‘Yers the Baltimore Clipperâ€. ... Even the dogs have fell in love with our regiment. Every company has about a dozen dogs and there are plenty running around that no one will own. Sometimes the Boys will get about a dozen together and tie all sorts of things to their tails and then start them off double quick. Then’s the fun. Sometimes there is a regimental dog fight, all of them taking an active part. But if the Colonel’s around, keep yourself scarce and go to your quarters as you will be put in the guard house. ...â€
