Regiment History: NEW YORK ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY (Three Years) One Hundred and Twenty-first Infantry.-Cols., Richard Franchot, Emory Upton, Egbert Olcott; Lieut.-Cols., Charles H. Clark, Egbert Olcott, Henry M. Galpin, James W. Cronkhite, John S. Kidder; Majs., Egbert Olcott, Andrew E. Mather, Henry M. Galpin, James W. Cronkhite, John S. Kidder. This regiment, recruited in the counties of Otsego and Herkimer, rendezvoused at Herkimer and was there mustered into the U. S. service for three years on Aug. 23, 1862, and in May, 1863, the three years men of the 18th, 27th, 31st, 16th and 32nd N. Y. infantry were transferred to it. The regiment left the state Sept. 2, 1862, and was immediately assigned to the 2nd (Bartlett's) brigade, 1st (Brooks') division, 6th corps, with which command it continued during its entire term of service. It joined McClellan's army in Maryland and was present but not active at the battle of Crampton's gap. The 6th corps was only partially engaged at the battle of Fredericksburg, though the 121st lost a few killed and wounded by the artillery fire to which it was exposed. The regiment fought with great gallantry and was exposed to a deadly musketry fire at Salem Church Va., where it lost 48 killed, 173 wounded and 55 missing, out of 453 officially reported as present. All except 23 of those reported missing were killed, and the loss was the greatest sustained by any regiment in the battle. Col. Franchot resigned in Sept., 1862, and under his successor Col. Upton, an unusually efficient officer, the excellent material of the regiment was molded into a finely disciplined organization. Col. Upton was promoted to Bvt. brigadier-general in Oct., 1864, and achieved an enviable reputation in the war. The regiment was in reserve at Gettysburg and was not again engaged with loss until the 6th corps returned to Virginia, when it lost 25 killed and wounded at the battle of Rappahannock Station in Nov., 1863. It was not heavily engaged during the Mine Run campaign, at the close of which it went into winter quarters at Brandy Station. In May, 1864, the regiment moved on the bloody campaign of Gen. Grant, crossing the Rapidan on the 5th, and plunging into the sanguinary struggle of the Wilderness, where it lost 73 in killed, wounded and missing. In the battle of Spottsylvania Col. Upton commanded and led in person an assaulting column of twelve picked regiments belonging to the 6th corps, the 121st being placed in the advance, an honor which cost it dear. The losses of the regiment at Spottsylvania amounted to 49 Killed,, 106 wounded. In the magnificent charge of Upton's storming party, the strong works of the enemy were carried after a hand-to-hand struggle. Said Gen. Upton in a private letter: "Bayonet wounds and sabre cuts are very rare. But at Spottsylvania there were plenty of bayonet wounds, and no picture could give too exalted an idea of the gallantry of the 121st N. Y., 5th Me., and 96th Pa., as they led the assaulting column of twelve picked regiments over the formidable intrenchments which confronted them." The regiment was successively engaged at North Anna, Totopotomy, Cold Harbor, the first assaults on Petersburg, and the Weldon railroad. When Early menaced Washington in July, the veterans of the 6th corps were ordered there to confront him, and the 121st was engaged at Fort Stevens with a loss of 26 in killed, wounded and missing. It followed with the corps in pursuit of Early through Maryland, into Virginia, and up the Shenandoah Valley, fighting at Charlestown, the Opequan, Fisher's hill, and Cedar creek, its loss in the last named battle amounting to 10 killed, 42 wounded and 5 missing. The 1st division was commanded by Gen. Wright at the Wilderness; by Gen. Russell at the Opequan; and by Gen. Wheaton at Cedar creek. In Dec., 1864, the regiment returned to the Petersburg trenches and established winter quarters near the Weldon railroad. It took a prominent part in the final assault on the fortifications of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, and in the hot pursuit of Lee's army, during which it lost 34 killed and wounded, and fought its last battle at Sailor's creek. The regiment captured 4 flags at Rappahannock Station and 2 at Sailor's creek. It was mustered out at Hall's hill, Va., under Col. Olcott, June 25, 1865. It took part in 25 great battles, and gloriously earned its title as an efficient and dashing fighting regiment. Its total enrollment during service was 1,897, of whom 14 officers and 212 enlisted men were killed and mortally wounded; 4 officers and 117 enlisted men, died of disease and other causes. Its total of 226 killed is 11.9 per cent. of its membership, and its total of 839 killed and wounded was one of the largest sustained by any regiment.

(Three Years) Colonel Richard Franchot received authority, July 19, 1862, to recruit this regiment in the counties of Herkimer and Otsego. It was organized at Herkimer, and there mustered in the service of the United States for three years August 13, 1862. The three years' men of the 18th Infantry were transferred to it May 10th, those of the 27th, 31st, 16th and 32d Infantry May 25, 26, 30 and 25, 1863, respectively. The men not to be discharged with the regiment were, June 25, 1865, transferred to the 65th Infantry. The companies were recruited principally: A at Manheim, Little Falls, Salisbury and Danube; B at Winfield, Plainfield, Litchfield, German Flats, Columbia and Stark; C at Fairfield, Russia, Herkimer and Newport; D at Frankfort, Warren, Manheim, Schuyler, Columbia and Salisbury; E at Middlefield, Milford, Cherry Valley, Hartwick, Springfield, Otego and Roseboom; F at Edmeston, Exeter, Unadilla, Otego and Maryland; G at Cherry Valley, Roseboom, Decatur, Middlefield, Westford, Worcester and Herkimer; H at Little Falls, Richfield, Salisbury and Otego; I at Milford, Laurens, Morris, Worcester, Pittsfield, Hartwick and German Flats; and K at Laurens, New Lisbon, Oneonta, Burlington, Otego, Butternuts, Pittsfield and Plainfield. The regiment left the State September 2, 1862; it served in the 2d Brigade, 1st Division, 6th Corps, from September 9, 1862, and it was mustered out and honorably discharged, under Col. Egbert Olcott, June 25, 1865, at Hall's Hill, Va. Source: Phisterer, p. 3,423 Gettysburg after battle report: Report of Col. Emory Upton, One hundred and twenty-first New York Infantry. Hdqrs. 121st New York Volunteers, August 6, 1863. Sir: I have the honor to make the following report of the participation of the Second Brigade while under my command in the operations around Gettysburg, Pa.: The evening of July 1, I received orders from Brig. Gen. J. J. Bartlett to take command of the brigade. It commenced its march from near Manchester, Md., toward Taneytown about 10 p. m. Arriving near Westminster, its destination was changed to Gettysburg, where it arrived about 3.30 p. m., having marched since the preceding evening 32 miles. The brigade rested about three hours, when it was ordered to reenforce that part of our line which was engaged near Round Top Mountain. While on its march to that point, I was relieved from the command by Gen. Bartlett. I know nothing of the operations of the brigade that evening or the ensuing day, excepting so far as relates to my own regiment, which took position in line of battle to support a battery to the right of the summit of Round Top, the right of the regiment resting on the road leading out to the Emmitsburg pike. One man was wounded by artillery on July 3. No other casualty occurred during the battle. Respectfully submitted. EMORY UPTON, Col. One hundred and twenty-first New York Vols. Capt. Dalton, A. A. G., First Division, Sixth Corps. Source: Official Records: Series I. Vol. 27. Part I. Reports. Serial No. 43
