122nd New York Infantry

The 122nd New York was nicknamed the Third Onondaga. It was raised from Onondaga County in August 1862. The regiment was commanded by Col. Silas Titus (1811-1899), a lumber dealer from Syracuse.

This was one of the Sixth Corps regiments sent to aid the Twelfth Corps defenders on Culp’s Hill. The monument marks the unit’s position in helping to repulse the July 3 attacks. It is a relatively simple monument mounted upon a very large boulder that is a natural part of the hill.
