Posted to the Project on 07 Dec 07
The simple monument to the 119th New York Infantry is located on the 11th Corps July 1 battle line. The regiment suffered over 100 casualties fighting on this line.
The unit was raised from New York City and from Queens County. It was mustered in during early September 1862.
Their commander was Col. John T. Lockman (1834-1912), a law student at Columbia. When Lockman fell wounded on July 1, Lt. Col. Edward F. Lloyd (1836-1864) took command. Lloyd, who was involved in the map making business, was killed at the battle of Resaca on May 15, 1864.
