Week 4

When I was researching my solider, I found information on the New York State Military Museum. He was in the 29^th Infantry and was mustered in June 6, 1861. Their recruitment was mainly in New York City and was organized by Germans.  I found that during their service they performed guard duty at the headquarters of the nth Corps.  During the regiments service one officer and twenty-seven enlisted men were killed in action. One officer and fourteen men were wounded during action. One officer and twenty-two men were affected by disease or other causes. The other information provided is where they served and the different divisions they were split up in to. It also gives background on the infantry and where they began. In the end, they were lead by Col. Louis Hartmann and honorably discharged and mustered out on June 20^th, 1863. The New York Division of Military and Naval Affairs created this website to inform people of the military history that occurred in their state. It lists the general background knowledge for each infantry and who they were made up of and what happened to them. I did not find OCR to be helpful or easy to figure out. At first, a bunch of characters and symbols came up when I tried to upload one of my images. It took me a couple of tries to figure out what happened but after I did it was clear. I probably would not use this website again though. I would find it easier to type out the site manually.
