First Camp of the 117th New York State Volunteers, Tenleytown, DC:
The 117th New York State Volunteers regiment was recruited in Oneida County, New York, in August 1862. Shortly thereafter the regiment was sent to Washington DC, and was stationed at Fort Reno until April 1863. This painting shows the area occupied by the fort covered with soldiers, tents, camp fires, and armaments. |
