After serving at Big Bethel Fair Oaks Malvern Hill Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville they were duly mustered out in May 1863. This history by 2nd Lieutenant John S. Brush details the organization of the company and its movements. The Company arrived at Big Bethel on the morning of June 10th 1861 formed a line of battle remained under the enemy's fire for nearly two hours before being ordered to retreat. They moved on to Newport News where the Rebel Iron Clad Merrimac shelled the garrison for two hours before retiring; no casualties were reported.

Brush at Potomac Creek Virginia 4 April 1863.<br/> John S. Brush born c. 1840 was mustered into the New York Infantry in 1861 a 1st Corporal and was mustered out a 2d Lieutenant. Brush had an interesting life following the war. 1880 Federal census records list him as a resident of Sing Sing Prison. Unfortunately this Civil War veteran went into the forgery business. By 1903 he had spent more than 20 years in Illinois and New York State prisons because of his "expertness in 'free hand' imitation of signatures and handwriting" versus the more common tracing method making him "one of the most dangerous professional forgers operating in this country." He was so good that those he had imitated at times would identify his forgeries as their own signatures. In 1903 Brush pleaded guilty yet again to forgery and was sentenced to another five years imprisonment at Dannemora prison. By the 1910 U.S. Federal Census he was living at the National Soldiers' Home in Tennessee.

1860LIST026New York: Jackson 1860. First Edition. An unrecorded recruitment broadside for the 11th New York Cavalry. Col. James Swain led the regiment which was first organized on Staten Island in late 1861. Most troops came from New York City the site of robust recruitment in the early years of the conflict largely from Irish and German immigrants. The regiment saw service throughout the South. The verse in small part: "Must our nation to the rebels yield or vainly call for aid / Our brethren now are in the field shall we keep in the shade. that our cause is just I hope and trust there are few who can but own / As if was the rebels raised this dust which we will soon put down. / Then if you wish to bear a hand you might not have again / A chance to join a chosen band of Mounted Riflemen." <br /> <br /> We find no record of the verse's author R.B. Nicol. Curiously though this broadside is unrecorded a broadside with the same song was published in Washington D.C. by G.F. Hardwick in 1864. A very good copy well preserved with some light creasing and hints of foxing. Jackson unknown books
