The New Haven Grays were a militia unit formed in 1816 as the New Haven Light Infantry and used as a civil defense force for the City. "At the outbreak of the Civil War the Grays enlisted for a 90 day period of service as part of the 2nd Connecticut Infantry. They took part in the first major engagement of the Civil War the Battle of Bull Run. It was this battle which was a victory for the Confederate Forces which the Grays saved the day for the union. Union Forces broke and ran throwing down their weapons and fleeing in panic while being attacked by the Confederates leaving the road to Washington DC open to the enemy. However the Grays led by CPT Alfred H. Terry held and withdrew in an orderly fashion using covered fire to 'Leap Frog' back which caused the Confederate Leader to think he was facing a superior well-trained force to call off his attack. The unit took part in 19 battles during the Civil War and at Gettysburg several monuments stand today in honor of those men and their deeds" article '1st Battalion - 102nd Infantry Regiment.' at online site of Global Security Organization .

Map Of The United States Mexico Oregon Texas The Californias 1846

18461809120058N.P 1846. First Edition. Map. Good. Mexican-American War Era Map Broadside proclaiming Manifest Destiny published at the outset of the Mexican American War. Woodcut map with hand-colored outline. 46 x 56.5 cm. 18 x 22-1/4 inches. Closed tear on left side along fold. Bottom left corner slightly chipped affecting seal of Ohio. Margins trimmed close to state seals. From the map: "The Texians claim as their Boundary the Rio del Norte from its mouth to its source Mexico recognizes their claims only as far as the Nueces." The coloring draws the border to the Rio Grande. Other interesting points: Comanches and Kioways territory; Nauvoo Illinois Mormon refuge; and a Northern "Boundary as Claimed by the United States" and a "Boundary as offered by compromise by the United States" showing claim to Oregon territory. John Haven attribution according to David Rumsey: "Wheat says Haven 1846. This copy was published late in 1846. Streeter 3871 attributes this to Ensign and Thayer due to its similarity to their 1848 Ornamental Map of the U.S. and Mexico Streeter 3872. Wheat says that this map is the source of Haven's broadside map of 1846 Wheat 26 and the Journal of Commerce map of 1848 Wheat 47 which use the top 2/3 and bottom 2/3 respectively of this map and therefore Wheat attributes this to Haven. The 1846 date is the latest date in the statistics on the states that flank the map. Wheat mentions that he found a copy in Farnham's Life and Travels in California and our copy has written on the back in ms "Life and Travels in California" so this may be another place it was used or what it was originally made for. Includes "panoramic view of Oregon and California and state seals. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridians are Greenwich and Washington D.C." - David Rumsey Historical Map Collection 2575. Wheat Maps of the California Gold Region 38 slightly different issue: "A flamboyant affair. Haven 'Suter's Colony' is given prominence in 'New California' but no hint of the gold discoveries on either the map or the broadside that surrounds it." Refs: Wheat 513; cf Wheat Gold 26; High Ridge 15; Streeter 3871. "A crude and most interesting piece with curious boundaries: 'New California' extends east to the 109th degree and Oregon north to Alaska!" - Eberstadt 136:122 N.P unknown
