Long Island & New York - Civil War Information

Where the Men were Obtained
From Frederick Phisterer's New York in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865. 3d edition, 1912, volume 1, pages 72-77

"It is impracticable, in fact impossible, to obtain any accurate figures of the number of men furnished during the war by each county, city, town, and village of the state. The best that can be done, is to indicate here the organizations (original or new; recruits not considered) to which the counties of the state contributed men; those marked being entirely recruited in the county, to which they are credited, all others only in part."
