BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
I. ARTHUR CLEVELAND COXE.
It is fitting that the frontispiece of this volume should be a portrait of the
late Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Western New York. For many years he
was the most distinguished active member of this Society, as indeed he was,
by many standards, the most eminent citizen of Buffalo. His membership in
the Society dates nearly from its establishment. Until advancing years
interposed obstacles, he took a lively interest in its work, shared in the club
meetings and on at least one occasion entertained the Society with an his-
torical paper. This was during the War, his subject being the relations of
North and South. Unfortunately, the paper is not filed with the Society.
Arthur Cleveland Coxe was the son of the Rev. Samuel Hanson Cox, the
son adopting an older form of the family name than that borne by the father.
He was born in Mendham, N. J., May io, 1818. His parents moved in 1820
to New York, where he received his early education and training. His father
was a distinguished preacher of the Presbyterian faith, and a descendant of a
missionary of Colonial days of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
Under the influence of maternal relations, the future bishop became an adherent
of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He graduated from the University of New
York in the class of 1838, then attended the General Theological Seminary of
the Episcopal Church, where he completed his studies for holy orders in 1841.
He was ordained deacon, June 27, 1841, and priest Sept. 25, 1842. Shortly
after ordination to the diaconate, he took charge of St. Ann’s Church,
Morrisania, N. Y.; from 1842 to 1854 he was rector of St. John’s Church,
Hartford, Conn. In the last-named year he became rector of Grace Church,
Baltimore, Md.; in ’63, of Calvary Church, New York City; soon thereafter
he was made Assistant Bishop of Western New York. He was consecrated
in Trinity Church, Geneva, N. Y., Jan. 4, 1865, and on the death of Bishop
DeLancey, ApriC 5> 1865, he succeeded as the second Bishop of Western
New York. He died July 20, 1896, and is buried at Geneva, N. Y.

APPENDIX.
In 1868 he gave assent to the formation of a new diocese, and Central
New York was committed to other hands. When he began his episcopal
administraton, the Diocese of Western New York covered a territory twice the
size of the present one, taking in twenty-nine counties of the State. There
are fifteen in the territory now covered by the episcopal authority of the
Bishop of Western New York. Prior to 1838 the whole of New York State
constituted but a single diocese. At the date named the Diocese of Western
New York, comprising also the present Diocese of Central New York, was
set off. Since then there have been other divisions, so that there are now five
dioceses in the State, New York, Long Island, Albany, Central New York
and Western New York.
The growth of the Episcopal Church in Western New York during the
years of Bishop Coxe’s episcopate has more than kept pace with the growth in
population. The present diocese is larger in the number of adherents to the
Episcopal Church, is wealthier in the amount of property held by its parishes,
and is more influential in every way than the diocese over which Bishop Coxe
was called to take charge, which was twice the size of the present diocese.
In 1868 there were sixty-nine resident clergy and seventy-six parishes. In
1890 there were reported 123 resident clergy and 133 parishes. In 1868 the
families in the diocese connected with the church numbered 6,296, while in
1890 they numbered 16,699. The value in church property in 1868
was about $1,000,000. In 1890 it was placed at $2,353,051. Making allow-
ance for the three years previous to 1868 and the increase during 1890, it is
safe to say that the value of the property now is nearly three times as much as
it was thirty years ago when Bishop Coxe came to the charge.
No effort is made here to speak adequately of his work in the ministry or
in the councils of his church. This is a matter of abundant record elsewhere.
Something has been said in this volume (pp. 355-358) of Bishop Coxe as an
author; and much has been said, in many and conspicuous ways, of the acts
and the qualities which made him a leader of religious thought. A very great
part of his work, especially in later years, was specifically directed to the
furtherance of Christian unity. A memorable event in our local annals was
the celebration, Jan. 3, 1890, of the 25th anniversary of his consecration. A
memorial volume is now, it is understood, in preparation, in which the full
story of his long and devoted life will be fitly told.
II. ALBERT BIGELOW.
Recognition should be made in these Publications of the service rendered
to the Buffalo Historical Society by the Rev. Albert Bigelow. He was Cor-
responding Secretary, Librarian and Treasurer for the Society from March 11,
1879, to 1881, editor of Vols. I. and II. of its Publications, and compiled withBIO GRA PHICA L NO TES.
383
much care one of the principal papers contained in this volume. His labors in
behalf of the Society were conscientious and valuable, and are held in grate-
ful remembrance.
Albert Bigelow was born in South LeRoy^ Genesee Co., N. Y., Oct. II,
1827, and came to Buffalo with his parents, Samuel A. and Maria M. Bigelow,
in the fall of 1830. The family at first lived on Pearl Street between Seneca
Street and the Terrace until driven out by the “ great fire ” of 1832. In 1837
they moved to a brick house which Samuel A. Bigelow had built on the west
side of Niagara Street, second door south of Georgia—the first brick dwelling-
house between Main Street and Black Rock. The house is still standing.
His earliest proclivities were musical. At 10 he sang alto in the “Old
First,” and at 18 was leader of the choir. Music continued to be one of the
delights of his life. He taught music in the early 40’s at the Buffalo Orphan
Asylum, of which institution he was for a time secretary. He studied law;
but deciding upon the ministry as a life-work, entered Yale College in ’48,
graduating therefrom in ’52. In his senior year he was one of the editors of
the Yale Literary Magazine, one of his associates on the board being Daniel
C. Gilman, now president of the Johns Hopkins University. Returning to
Buffalo in 1853, he married Maria, daughter of Lucius Storrs, and in Septem-
ber of that year was licensed to preach, his first charge being at North Bergen,
N. Y., where he was ordained in 1855. During succeeding years he held
pastorates at Brooklyn, Homer, N. Y., Jackson, Mich., and Silver Creek,
N. Y. In December, ’69, he returned to Buffalo, having received the
appointment of District Secretary for Western New York of the Seamen’s
Friend Society. This post he resigned after two years of effective work. The
following year he wrote an account of the life-work of Asher Wright, for many
years the faithful missionary to the Seneca Indians, his data being gathered
from Mr. Wright’s widow, then living on the Cattaraugus Reservation.
For some years following 1871, Mr. Bigelow supplied pulpits in Buffalo
and neighboring towns and gave much of his time to painting portraits.
Several of these—portraits of Samuel Wilkeson, Lucius Storrs, Juba Storrs and
Samuel A. Bigelow—are now owned by the Buffalo Historical Society. He
also painted one of James Fenimore Cooper for the novelist’s son-in-law,
Frederick Phinney, at one time a resident of Buffalo.
As an officer of the Historical Society he did much to promote its
practical work. With the collections, books, pictures, relics, he brought
order out of chaos and made useful material available to inquiring students
as it had not been before. He wrote many papers on subjects of local
historical importance; always painstaking, untiring in his quest for accur-
ate data. He had the essential gift of taking infinite pains. How well
he exercised it is evidenced in the principal work which he did for the
Society, the editing of the two volumes of Publications above referred to.
Returning again to the pulpit, he continued to preach for some years, his
last resident charge being the Congregational Church at North Evans, N. Y,384	APPENDIX.
He removed again to Buffalo in 1891, an invalid with the malady which
finally proved fatal. He died June 27, 1892.
These notes are in no sense an adequate memoir; the aim being merely
to put on record, in these Publications, albeit with necessary brevity, some
acknowledgment of the services rendered to the Society by one who served it
with fruitful fidelity.DOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.

THE INDIAN SHOW OF STORRS & CO.
EXTRACT FROM THE MSS. OF THE REV. ALBERT BIGELOW.
[See page 123.]
In 1818—early—Juba Storrs & Co. entered into a speculation, joining
with some others, among them Hale & Brigham of Canandaigua. This
enterprise was nothing less than an ante-Barnum project: They became
proprietors of a show. A company of fine-looking Indians were accoutred
and sent to Europe for exhibition, with hope of ‘‘turning a penny” for the
benefit of the operators. Among them have been named to me Tommy
Jimmy, Steep Rock, Little Bear, Red Squirrel and Two Guns.
They were put in charge of Carlton Fox—already known as a skillful
hand in managing the wild men—and Brigham of the Canandaigua firm of
Hale & Brigham. But Brigham as financial manager, and Fox as showman,
had their hands more than full in that affair.
The .Indians were a splendid set of fellows, and they knew it, and were
wonderfully set up by their knowledge and the notice they attracted and
attention they received. This was very great. They were novelties, shown
off in their native costumes, with brilliant feathers, and bright-hued garments,
and wild ways—and John Bull was wonderfully taken by them.
Yet, all the more on this account Fox was often at his wits’ end to keep
them anywhere within bounds. As an instance of this, I give the following:
At Liverpool, Fox had told Little Bear on one occasion to put on his overcoat,
covering his “ regimentals,” and go incog, to see the animals at a zoological
exhibition, expressly telling him not to let Tommy Jimmy know about it, as
he could not then trust him, he having begun to be affected by an overdose of
fire-water; adding that he (Fox) would take them next night to see the show.
But the temptation was too great for Little Bear, and he “ let on ” to Tommy
as to his distinguished privilege and expected fun; whereat T. J. went
into a great rage and made his appearance before Fox and Brigham, in Fox’s
room, in a threatening state of jealous wrath and—whiskey-ness, with a knife
in his hand. Brigham went out and left Fox alone with the savage. But
Fox was equal to the occasion. His eloquence prevailed, and Tommy Jimmy
turned to go; then the evil spirit returned and he whirled and came back
before reaching the door, flourishing his knife and declaring himself bound to
kill the offender. Fox kept him off with a chair till finally Tommy decided
to leave, giving vent to his wrath, however, by sticking his knife with a
terrible blow, not into Fox, but into the door—and leaving it there as a
warning.
The affair spread at once through the whole company, Tommy trying to
make them feel that they had been slighted and badly treated. A council416
APPENDIX.
was called, and Little Bear told his story, explaining the matter. Tommy
was worsted in the war of words and explanations, and matters were
amicably adjusted, Tommy concluding with the short, sensible, if not
penitent remark, “ I think whiskey did it.”
A reminiscence of this expedition, savoring of the romantic, should here
be recorded, called up by the fact that Orlando Allen, Esq., has in his
residence a picture of these Indians in their exhibition costume, painted by an
English lady, Mrs. Nevins.
This lady fell in love with Steep Rock, who was a specially fine-looking
man. She followed and persecuted him in the infatuation of her attachment;
and to such an extent did this go that the return of the troop, after it had
been determined upon, was finally hastened, and the time of their departure
carefully concealed from the Indians themselves till it had arrived, and it
became necessary to get Steep Rock drunk to bring him on board the vessel.
Then, when the troop had reached home again, the lady, who was a beautiful
person, painted a miniature of herself and sent it to Steep Rock, with several
guineas in money. One day Steep Rock came in to see Mrs. George Burt,
and when she asked him about the lady, he with great emotion drew the
miniature from his bosom and showed it to her.
I have said that Brigham as financial agent had his hands full also on this
exhibition. In fact, matters went so adversely on account of great expenses,
that notwithstanding the great success of the exhibition as a show, Brigham
fell far behind in money matters, and being in debt and in danger of imprison-
ment on account of it, the firm sent out their clerk, Jacob A. Barker, to take
his place, and he came home.
RECORDS OF THE “ BOARD OF TRADE ” REGIMENT.
In the rooms of the Buffalo Historical Society there is preserved with
much care a great volume. In size and thickness it rivals the largest and
heaviest ledgers. It rests on a desk made especially for it, and an embroidered
plush covering protects from dust or careless and unappreciative hands, the
handsome morocco-bound lids. Between those lids is a whale treasure-house
of local history—some four hundred pages of manuscript records, relating to
Buffalo’s famous “ Board of Trade ” Regiment, the iooth New York State
Volunteers. Besides the manuscripts, which are of great variety, the volume
contains some seventy photographic and other portraits, maps, plans, views of
battles, forts and prisons, newspaper reports, souvenirs of regimental reunions
—in short, it holds in great abundance the original materials for a history of
the iooth Regiment. This volume was compiled and presented to the Society
by Mr. George S. Hazard, a devoted member of the Society, and President of
the Buffalo Board of Trade at the time the Regiment was organized. Some-DOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.

thing of the history of that Regiment, and something of the contents of the
volume itself, may be learned from Mr. Hazard’s Introduction, extracts from
which follow:
This volume contains a large portion of the records, reports and
correspondence relating to the iooth Regiment, N. Y. S. Volunteers, which
came into my hands while President of the Buffalo Board of Trade and Chair-
man of the War Committee during the War of the Rebellion, from July, 1862,
to April, 1865. Since that time many resolutions to examine and arrange them
properly, for future reference, were defeated by the cares and responsibilities
of a large business, consequently the dust of nearly a generation had covered
them from sight, but memory still held them dear, and in fulfillment of a
sacred duty to the dead who gave their lives for the life of their country, and
also to the living heroes of that distinguished regiment, these papers have been
compiled for preservation, and are placed in the rooms of the Buffalo Histor-
ical Society, for examination and reference.
On these pages will be found a copy of the original “ Muster-in ” roll of
the Regiment, the names and rank of its officers and the members of each
Company, its condition from time to time during the War, from occasional
regimental “ Morning Reports ” ; brief accounts of encounters and battles
with the enemy and the names of killed, wounded and missing, so far as could
be obtained; correspondence, original and copies, with the Department of
War, Medical Department, etc., etc., at Washington, and also with Governors of
this State, regarding appointment and promotion of officers in the Regiment;
also letters from and to officers and members of the “ rank and file ”;
correspondence with ladies of the Ci Sanitary and Relief Society” and a copy
of the original Buffalo Board of Trade “War Subscription”; the names of
several hundred conscripts detailed by the Secretary of War, at the request of
the War Committee; and last but not least, the “ Muster-out ” roll and
honorable discharge of the gallant, brave and ever-to-be-remembered iooth
Regiment, N. Y. S. Volunteers.
Had I supposed, during those eventful years, that any value would
ever attach to the correspondence and other papers regarding the iooth
Regiment, I should have been more careful of their preservation, and now I
regret that many letters from private soldiers, and other communications of
much interest, have been lost or mislaid, and numerous copies of my own
letters, through hasty or careless copying, have become too indistinct to
decipher. But I am confident that the material saved and contained in
this volume will be found interesting and worthy of preservation.
The iooth Regiment was organized under an order issued by the War
Department to Gen. G. A. Scroggs, dated August 19, 1861, who authorized
Capt. Daniel B. Nash, of Springville, Capt. John Nicholson, Capt. Chas. E.
Morse, Capt. Michael Bailey, Capt. Edwin P. Dye, Capt. Chas. H. Henshaw,
Capt. Geo. Hinson, Capt. Chas. E. Rauert, Buffalo, and Capt. Lewis S. Payne,

of Tonawanda, to enlist volunteers for a regiment to be called the 100th
N. Y. S. Volunteers. Recruiting was begun, and as men accumulated,
companies were formed. Early in March, 1862, the Regiment, fully organized
and numbering 960 rank and file, was ordered to New York, where, after
being furnished with arms, it proceeded to Washington and entered upon the
severe trials of a soldier’s life, to which the pages of this book in some slight
degree, bear evidence.
In this connection it is unnecessary to more than briefly allude to the
antecedents of the Buffalo Board of Trade.
As a strictly commercial institution, from its formation in 1844, it had
always sustained a high character for broad and generous views in promoting
all public measures, favorably affecting the interests, not only of the City of Buf-
falo, but also of the State of New York, her great avenues of traffic, the com-
merce of the lakes and the producing States tributary thereto. In all projects and
undertakings of this nature, the efforts of its members were liberal and untiring.
In appeals to their patriotism, sympathy or benevolence they were ever ready
to respond with characteristic generosity.
The first rebel shot against the walls of Sumter, followed by the most
daring and defiant outrages, surprised and aroused the loyal heart of the
country. The members of the Buffalo Board of Trade were not tardy in
manifesting their patriotism from time to time during the early stage of the
rebellion, by many spontaneous and liberal contributions in aiding and
equipping different military organizations, and assisting sanitary and relief
societies in their noble work of furnishing necessary supplies for the sick and
wounded soldiers, in hospitals and in the field. The aggregate sum given in
this way amounted to many .thousands of dollars. Demands of this nature
were frequent, and the members of the Board saw the necessity for raising a
large fund specially for war purposes, to be placed in the hands of a committee
to dispense in their discretion to the best advantage. A subscription was at
once started, and responded to with patriotic enthusiasm, which soon reached
a sum of about $23,000, which was promptly paid. It is but just to say that
the amount donated at different times during the War by the members of the
Buffalo Board of Trade, although comparatively few in number, did not fall
short of $50,000.
On announcement of the success of the subscription, a meeting of the
Board was called, and after some spirited speeches, the following named
members were appointed a “War Committee,” viz., J. M. Richmond, L. K.
Plympton, C. J. Mann, S. J. Holley, S. W. Howell, E. S. Prosser, D. S.
Bennett, A. G. Williams, J. G. Deshler, and the president, G. S. Hazard, who
was appointed treasurer of the fund and chairman of the committee. The
question as to the disposition of the fund then arose. In considering the
subject, after some discussion, the attention of the committee was directed to
the gallant conduct, in the terrific battle of Fair Oaks, of the 100th Regiment,
consisting of raw and inexperienced volunteers, scarcely three months fromDOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.

their homes; how like veterans they stood up in a tornado of shot and shell
almost to annihilation. Its losses in this initiatory engagement in killed,
wounded, and missing, amounting to nearly fifty per cent, of the original roll,
aroused in the Board of Trade the most intense sympathy and profound
admiration for the gallant and fearless heroism exhibited by this regiment.
The situation of the iooth at that time, suffering under the loss of the brave
Colonel Brown, and many gallant officers and men, reduced to a mere wreck
of its former condition, the roll numbering but 451 rank and file, out of 960,
its original number, was truly deplorable and involved an emergency endan-
gering its very identity and existence as a regiment, and doubtless without aid
by prompt and ample re-enforcement of men, would have resulted in disband-
ment and consolidation with other corps.
The Board of Trade Committee, on considering the facts before them, no
longer hesitated, but at once embraced the favorable opportunity which the
unfortunate condition of the Regiment presented. The committee made their
report to the full Board “on Change” July 29, 1862, recommending the
adoption of the iooth Regiment, N. Y. S. Volunteers, and that the recruiting
Of men to fill its ranks be commenced without delay. The report of the
committee was received with cheers by the members of the Board, and
without hesitation unanimously adopted. It was also “ resolved that an
appropriate flag be procured and presented to the Regiment.” The President
of the Board immediately addressed a letter to Major Otis of the iooth
Regiment, informing him that the Board of Trade, by a unanimous vote, had
resolved to adopt the iooth and to take immediate measures to enlist men to
fill its ranks. This letter was read to the Regiment on dress parade, and
responded to by resolutions of thanks.
The assurance of sympathy from good friends at home who were willing
and ready to help them out of their troubles, inspired new hope and imparted
fresh vigor and resolution to the Regiment. The War Committee without
delay, established a recruiting station, and with a few active agents, an enlist-
ment of volunteers began in earnest. Many good strong men were obtained,
and as the proper papers were executed, they were forwarded to the Regiment
in squads of thirty or more.
During this period the iooth was without a Colonel, and the question of
selection from names proposed was not a little embarrassing to the committee.
On application to Gov. Morgan, he suggested the name of Capt. George B.
Dandy, of the U. S. Army, who had been highly recommended to him as an
experienced and accomplished officer. The committee were disposed to make
further inquiry, and the president and one other member went to Albany, and
after consultation with the Governor and obtaining all necessary information in
regard to Capt. Dandy’s qualifications for the position, he was, at their
request, duly commissioned Colonel of the iooth Regiment. It is proper to
add that Capt. Dandy, after a thorough military education, had served for
some eight years in the regular army, part of the time in Florida, also in420
APPENDIX.
California, and later as captain on General McClellan’s staff; and was
nominated for the “brevet of major” for brave conduct in the battle of
Malvern Hill.
At this conference with the Governor it was distinctly arranged that all
appointments of commissioned officers in the iooth Regiment should be made
only on the recommendation of the executive officer of the Board of Trade and
War Committee, the appointments to be confined solely to those whose merit
and soldierly qualifications entitled them to promotion. This arrangement
was strictly adhered to and tended to suppress all political influence and
favoritism. Some mistakes may have been made, but mainly the appointments
and promotions were well deserved.
Col. Dandy, on taking command, found the Regiment possessed of a true
spirit of patriotism and indomitable fighting qualities, but like nearly all of our
volunteer troops, at that early period of the War, deficient in the practical train-
ing necessary to qualify a soldier for intelligent active service in the presence
of the enemy. How well Col. Dandy succeeded, and how well the Regiment
profited by his instructions in establishing a strict military discipline and
encouraging that morale so necessary on the field of battle, these records
of the Regiment testify.
During the latter part of 1862 and early in 1863 the Regiment often
changed location, and in April pitched its tents at Coles Island, S. C.,
then on Folly and afterward on Morris Island, -where their morning and
evening gun reminded their Rebel neighbors in the strongholds about Charles-
ton, that the “ Yankees ” had come to stay. The condition of the Regiment at
that time was excellent in discipline and strength, the roll showing about nine
hundred strong. Full accounts of the severity of the service on Morris
Island and of the losses sustained by the Regiment, not only by the constant
dropping of shot and shell in and about the camp, but in the repeated and
deadly attacks on the fortifications in that vicinity, will be found in these
pages. During the long siege of Charleston and in the perilous assaults on
Fort Wagner, the iooth underwent constant depletion. In one of these fatal
attempts the color-bearer, Sergt. Flanders of Co. A, with the flag presented by
the Board in his hand, was killed on the rampart, but the flag was valiantly
rescued and brought off in a dilapidated condition, by Corporal Spooner of the
same Company.
A new flag was suggested and the Board promptly complied in sending
one of great elegance, richly embroidered with the names of the battles in
which the Regiment had gained marked distinction, and with stars and stripes
so brilliant that the enemy could not mistake its character. The flag reached
the Regiment January 10, 1863, and was presented by Chaplain Linn in an
eloquent address and gracefully accepted by Major Nash.
The Regiment, now again reduced in numbers, required more men, and as
it was very difficult to procure recruits in the busy fall season of 1863, a letter
was addressed to the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, explainingDOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.
421
the situation and necessities of the Regiment, to which the War Department
replied by ordering a detail of one hundred and fifty-two conscripts, about half
the number required, which reached the Regiment late in October.
During the following winter Col. Dandy, Lieuts. Stowits, Sandrock and
others came to Buffalo, and with the assistance of the War Committee suc-
ceeded in enlisting quite a number of men at high bounties.
The campaign in Virginia, beginning early in the season of 1864, was un-
paralleled in activity and violence. It is unnecessary in this Preface to detail
the severe and bloody conflicts, such as Drury’s Bluff, Deep Bottom, Peters-
burg, Hatcher’s Run and others in which the iooth suffered so severely that
more men were required to fill the ranks.
The War Committee, having since August, 1862, enlisted and sent to the
Regiment some five hundred or more men and discontinued recruiting, found
great difficulty in procuring recruits even at high bounties.
The President of the Board again appealed to the Secretary of War, set-
ting forth the valiant services of the iooth Regiment, their recent losses in
battle, the necessity of re-enforcement and the unsuccessful efforts of the
Board of Trade in obtaining men in Buffalo. The Secretary replied favorably
to the request by detailing two hundred and two conscripts which reached the
Regiment in October, 1864.
Let us now look at the numerical standing of the Regiment at different
periods. On leaving Buffalo in March, 1862, there were on the muster-roll
the names of nine hundred and sixty men, rank and file. After the battle of
Fair Oaks in May following there were, according to the best information,
only four hundred and fifty-one men in the Regiment. On November 7, after
the adoption by the Board, there were eight hundred and eighty-nine in all.
On December 20, 1862, there were on the roll nine hundred and eighty-four
rank and file, each company having ninety-eight men.
On March 8, 1.863, by the official report, there were eight hundred and
seventy-six rank and file.

By this statement it appears that during the time of its service the Regi-
ment required nearly as many men as were on the original roll to supply the
losses caused by the usual casualties of war. While many were incapacitated
by diseases common to all men, a much larger number were killed or disabled
by wounds received in battle. Those unfit for duty by disease or wounds were
sent to the nearest hospital to take their chance with hundreds of others, fre-
quently in over-crowded rooms, to be cared for by over-worked attendants.
It is not surprising that the poor fellows soon became discouraged and home-422

sick; they wrote letters to the Board, begging to be sent to Buffalo or some
place near their homes.
Applications were made to the proper medical departments and repeated
until scores of the iooth’s men were sent to the hospitals at Buffalo where their
friends could reach them. Letters from widows and wives of disabled men
wanting help for their suffering families were frequently received, to all of
which the War Committee gave proper attention and relief.
On the 1st day of. February, 1865, the Board of Trade gave a public
reception to about one hundred and seventy veterans of the Regiment, who
had passed through many hard-fought battles victoriously, whose term of three
years’ service had expired. The room was tastefully decorated with flags,
conspicuous among them being the old banner presented to the Regiment in
1862, eloquent in its tattered condition; a sacred memento of the gallant
courage of the men who defended it even unto death.
After an address by the President and a substantial repast, hearty cheers
were given for the old flag and the Board of Trade, and with fervent hand-
shaking and good wishes the meeting adjourned.
The quiet of the Regiment’s winter encampment before Richmond was
broken early in the spring and with the army it was again on the march to new
fields of victory. After several sharp engagements the Regiment fought its last
battle in taking a prominent part in the assault and capture of Fort Gregg, but
unfortunately suffered from the lo£s of officers and men, among the number
killed being the gallant and much lamented Major James H. Dandy, at that
time in command of the Regiment, who fell at the moment of victory.
The rebel army, after four years of unequalled sanguinary conflict in which
a constant succession of defeats had sapped its life-blood, now began to
manifest decided evidence of weakness, and as the stupendous combinations of
Grant were more distinctly revealed, all hope in the hearts of the leading
spirits of the sham Confederacy was abandoned, and the War culminated by a
general surrender at Appomattox in April, 1865, when the baseless fabric of
rebellion went down with a crash never to rise again.
And now we may ask, What are the results of this great war on
which the nations of the civilized world gazed with wonder and astonish-
ment. A million of human lives were sacrificed and thousands of millions of
treasure lost, but. in the providence of Almighty God the infamous curse
of slavery which for generations had remained a blot upon the escutcheon of a
free country, was, by an inevitable sequence, swept away forever. The doubt-
ful and often disputed problem of the permanence of a Constitutional Republic
has been solved for all time, showing by a living example to all nations of the
world, that the people are not only capable of governing themselves but fully
competent to create and perpetuate the best form of government, “of the
people and for the people,” that the world has ever known.
Furthermore, the power, resources, inflexible courage and superior military
qualifications so suddenly developed on both sides in the late war, practicallyDOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.

demonstrate the ability of the country to take care of itself under any
emergency which is ever likely to occur.
The heavy clouds of war which so long hung over us are dispersed,
and peace and prosperity, under a wise and benificent Government, are assured
to all. May we not hope, and soon realize that reconciliation and friendly
intercourse, which already seem largely established in the hearts of those
recently engaged in deadly strife, will so increase that the imaginary lines
of North and South will become blended and forgotten, and the people firmly
united in the bonds of a common nationality, kindred and interest, will
remain for all time a free and independent nation.
For all the blessings of peace let us give fervent thanks to Him the
Supreme Ruler of the universe, Whose hand directs the destiny of nations;
and to those men who, inspired with a brave and noble patriotism, gave up all,
even their lives, to preserve the existence stnd integrity of the Constitution and
the laws of their beloved country.
To them, the noble and patriotic dead, and the living heroes, may the
hearts of a generous and loyal nation, to the latest posterity, ever turn in
grateful remembrance.
In the compilation of this volume I am under obligations to the following-
named gentlemen:—To Brig’r Gen’l George B. Dandy, for his interesting
pages of reminiscences of the War and of the iooth Regiment which he so
ably and successfully commanded; also for a copy of the “ Muster-out ” roll
of the Regiment procured from the War Department in Washington, and much
other valuable matter.
To Major George H. Stowits, for his historic sketches of the iooth
Regiment, in which he received promotion from the ranks for distinguished
services, also for a copy of the original “ Muster-in ” roll of the Regiment and
that of the field and staff officers, dates of commission, rank, etc. A finely
executed map (by his own hand) of the harbor of Charleston, S. C., and its
celebrated islands, also an exceedingly interesting paper on the exploits of the
famous, intrepid and heroic “Scout,” Captain (subsequently) Lieut. Col.
Lewis S. Payne, now residing at Tonawanda.
To Capt. George Barnum, for his graphic description of the deadly
assault on Fort Wagner in which he valiantly gained merited promotion.
To Major Edward L. Cook, for his pages of interesting and cheerful
touches of camp life during three years of arduous service in which he gained
honorable promotion.
To Lieut. Alfred Lyth, for a copy of his thrilling narrative of cruelty and
suffering while a prisoner of war in the rebel “stockade pens” of Anderson-
ville and Florence.
To Lieut. Col. Charles E. Walbridge, for a copy of his eloquent address
at a reunion of the old members of the iooth Regiment in July, i887^an
exceedingly interesting review of the iooth from its organization to the close
of the War.24
APPENDIX.
I am also indebted to Capt. Charles E. Rauert, for a copy of his excellent
address, as President of the iooth Regiment Veteran Association, at the
reunion in July, 1888.
THE DR. JOS. C. GREENE COLLECTION.
Conspicuous among the many treasures which the Buffalo Historical
Society has gathered in recent years is a valuable collection of some 300
originals and casts of Egyptian, Syrian and Assyrian antiquities. These, with
miscellaneous articles—English armor of the XVIth Century, coins of many
nations, oriental curios, etc.,—were procured for the Society by Dr. Joseph C.
Greene during a tour around the world. Well arranged and labeled, the
Greene Collection is one of the strongest attractions of the Society’s, museum.
Conspicuous in the collection is an Egyptian mummy, certified to be that of a
high priest of Thebes. The richness of the wrappings and the decorations of
the finely preserved sarcophagus, lend probability to the claim. The mummy
is supposed to be about 3,500 years old. There are also shown a pair of
sandals found with it when the tomb was opened. A mummied cat and a
large number of genuine Egyptian relics are in the collection.
Of chief value to the student, however, are the fine casts of famous
tablets, stones, statues, etc., of which the priceless originals are preserved,
some in the Museum at Boulak, others in the British Museum or at the
Louvre. In this department the following-named are noteworthy : Two stone
tablets, bearing cuneiform inscriptions, being grants of land by one of the Kings
of Babylon; a beautiful papyrus “ Book of the Dead,” seventy-six feet long,
with a translation; the Sargon Stone, from Babylon, giving a history of Sargon,
first King of Agada, Assyria, B. C. 3,800; the Siloam Tablet, discovered in
1881, at Jerusalem, bearing an inscription in Phoenician, giving the history of
the excavations between the Virgin Spring and Pool of Siloam, 700 years before
Christ; two Babylonian seals, one of Darius the Great; statues of the Egyptian
god Osiris and goddess Isis; the upper half of a statue of Rameses II., who
oppressed the Children of Israel; the “Moabite Stone,” from the Land of Moab,
discovered in 1868, bearing an inscription in honor of King Mesha, giving,
from a Moabitish point of view, an account of the struggles of that nation
with Israel, nearly 900 years before the Christian Era; the Babylonian sun-god
tablet; the “ Black Obelisk,” from Assyria, recording on its four faces, both
by pictorial representation and by inscriptions, the annals of thirty-two years of
Shalmaneser’s reign, and twenty-five successful campaigns against the nations
bordering on the Assyrian Empire; a tablet bearing the Chaldean account of
the Deluge'; the “ Rosetta Stone,” an admirable replica of the famous slab of
black basalt found near Rosetta in Egypt in 1799, and now preserved at the
British Museum. This stone, it will be remembered, bears in triplicate a
decree promulgated by the Egyptian priesthood of Memphis in 195 B. C. inDOCUMENTS AND MISCELLANY.

honor of Ptolemy V. Epiphanes. The text, in uncial Greek, hieroglyphic and
enchorial characters, gave to the modern world the key to Egygtian hieroglyphic
inscriptions.
As a whole, the Greene Collection represents not merely generous
expenditure by a former president and constant friend of the Society, but
admirable discrimination in the selection of objects. By means of it, the
Society offers free advantages to the student of archaeology, language, and
ancient history, to be found in but few places in this country, none of them
near Buffalo.INDEX

Cornell University Library produced this
volume to replace the irreparably deteriorated
original. It was scanned using Xerox software
and equipment at 600 dots per inch resolution
and compressed prior to storage using CCITT
Group 4 compression. The digital data were
used to create Cornell's replacement volume on
paper that meets the ANSI Standard
Z39.48-1984. The production of this volume was
supported in part by the New York State
Program for the Conservation and Preservation
of Library Research Materials and the Xerox
Corporation.	Digital file copyright by
