This uncommon reunion ribbon features multi-colored text and two motifs.  The ribbon is white silk with only a single, miniscule spot stain and a set of small perforations at the top edge – likely from a pin.  The remainder is virtually free of damage and over fading.  The top edge is folded and sewn for pin bar mounting, and the bottom edge retains are complete length of silver-finished wire braiding. Dimensions are 2.5” x 7.25”.

May 22, 1861. It left on June 5 for Washington and passed the following month at Kalorama heights; was then ordered to Martinsburg, W. Va.; was attached to Gen. Sandford's brigade on July 12 and ordered to Harper's Ferry; on Aug. 20, it was stationed at Hyattstown, Md., and in the marches and countermarches of these two months several sharp skirmishes with the enemy took place, in which the troops acquitted themselves creditably. In August, the term of enlistment expired and special orders were issued providing for the remuster of the men for the remainder of the two years' period. These orders were received with open dissatisfaction and by refusal of obedience on the part of 206 members, 23 of the greatest offenders being sent to the Dry Tortugas and the others placed under arrest until they were ready to be remustered. The 23 were finally released on condition that they serve the remainder of the two years in the 2nd N. Y. infantry.

From Sept. 6 to 25, 1861, the regiment was in camp near Darnestown; was then ordered to Muddy branch and assigned to Gen. Williams' brigade, with which it moved to Hancock, Md., in December, and remained there until Feb. 17, 1862. At this time four new companies, recruited in New York city, Rome, Syracuse and Tompkins County, were added to the regiment and it was converted into a regiment of light artillery, officially designated as the 3rd Light Artillery.

A neat ribbon, linked to a hard-fighting unit of the Eastern Theater.  Ideal for the collector of Civil War Veteran-related items.    [cm][ph:L]
