Y., and mustered in by companies during September and October, 1862, the men coming from Rensselaer and Washington counties. The regiment was actively engaged in the defence of Suffolk, Va., April, 1863, where it served in Foster's Brigade. Corcoran's Division. In the following summer it participated in the operations about Charleston Harbor, and in May, 1864, it moved with the Army of the James to Bermuda Hundred. The regiment disembarked there with Butler's Army, and hard fighting, with its consequent heavy losses, immediately ensued. At Cold Harbor it fought in Martindale's Division ; Col onel McConihe was killed in that battle. The One Hundred and Sixty-ninth held a perilous position in the trenches before Petersburg, losing men there, killed or wounded, almost every day. While there, on the evening of June 30, 1864, the brigade (Barton's) was ordered to charge the enemy's lines, so that, under cover of their fire, Curtis's Brigade could throw up an advanced rifle-pit; but the regiment while going into position was prema turely discovered by the enemy, and thereby drew upon themselves a severe fire, which not only frustrated the plan, but cost the regiment many lives. The regiment was one of those selected for the expedition against Fort Fisher; it was then in Bell's (3d) Brigade, Ames's Division, Tenth Corps, and took part in the desperate but victorious assault on that stronghold. A large proportion of its losses there, however, occurred at the explosion of the magazine, after the fort had been captured. After the fall of Fort Fisher, the regiment accompanied the Tenth Corps in its advance on Wilmington. It was mustered out July 19, 1865. * Does not include men transferred from the One Hundred and Forty-second New York, after the war had ended. t Including those killed by the explosion of the magazine, the day after thp fort was captured _06939
