146th New York Infantry

The 146th New York was known as the 5th Oneida. It was also known as the Halleck Infantry.

Raised from Oneida County, the regiment mustered in at Rome on October 10, 1862.

The commander at Gettysburg was Col. Kenner Garrad (1827-1879). Garrad was born in Kentucky and was a member of the West Point class of 1850. He rose to the rank of general and succeeded Weed in command of the brigade.

At that point, Lt. Col. David T. Jenkins (1836-1864) took over the regiment. A lawyer from Vernon, Jenkins was killed at the battle of the Wilderness.

The relatively simple monument is located on Little Round Top where the regiment fought on July 2 and 3.

The most prominent feature is a bronze Fifth Corps maltese cross emblazoned on both sides of the monument.
