Erected by the State of New York
September 29, 1906
to commemorate the heroic services of the
5th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry
(Duryée Zouaves).
Here, about 4 p.m. August 30, 1862, the Regiment, 462 strong, supported Hazlett's Battery, "D" 5th
U.S. Artillery, when attacked by a Division of the victorious Confederates. The Regiment stubbornly
withstood this force, and checked its advance, until the battery had withdrawn.
In holding this position, the Regiment suffered the greatest loss of life sustained by any
infantry regiment, in any battle, during the entire Civil War.
The casualties were: killed or mortally wounded, 124; wounded, 223. Both color bearers, and seven
out of eight of the color guard were killed; but the colors were brought with honor, off the field.

Thanks to Brian Pohanka for his contributions.
