Welcome to the home page of the 123rd New York Volunteer Infantry of the American Civil War! This site is a project of the 28th Georgia / 123rd New York Volunteer Infantry reenacting unit, a non-profit organization, that allows us to share information about the 123rd New York. Much of the information on this site was submitted to us from decendants and historians of the 123rd New York and we thank all of you for your contributions and support. If you would like to submit information about the regiment, please contact our webmaster.
