New York veterans of the 129th Regiment unveil a Cold Harbor memorial on the fortieth sixth anniversary of the battle. The ceremony honors comrades who fell on June 3 1884 and reflects on the costly assault and its controversial place in Grant’s Civil War career.
A veteran from upstate New York joined the 129th New York Infantry in 1862 and later fought at Cold Harbor near Richmond. The unit, formed in Niagara Genesee and Orleans counties, totaled 1800 after May 1864 and served in Hancock's Second Army Corps. The siege and assault left heavy losses, with 7000 men reported killed or wounded in a brief May 1864 rush.
