While recruits came from Onondaga, Schuyler and Chemung County the vast majority the regiment’s men came from the large rural county of Steuben thus leading to the unit’s nickname, the “The Steuben Rangers.” The Rangers fought hard at 2nd Manassas, Chancellorsville and Brandy Station before arriving at Gettysburg on July 1st 1863. Part of Ward’s Brigade of the III Corps they were commanded by Lt. Colonel Benjamin Higgins of Syracuse. On the afternoon of July 2nd, Ward’s brigade was assigned the left flank of the Union Army on a ridge that terminated in a large pile of dolomite boulders now known as Devil’s Den. The 86th was initially placed between its sister units, the 124th NY and the 20th Indiana. The 86th’s line ran from near Smith’s battery into the Rose woodlot. When the Confederate attack came in late afternoon the 86th most likely fired the first regimental volley of the bloody 2nd day against the 3rd Arkansas. After firing the Rangers pushed forward with the 20th Indiana and drove the westerners back across Rose Run. The Confederates regrouped and slowly advanced up the wooded hillside tree by tree, rock by rock. Eventually they were halted at a rocky ledge now named for their Colonel, VanNoy Manning. For at least an hour the fight was a standstill with each side fruitlessly looking for an advantage. Eventually the 15th Georgia from Benning’s Brigade and also the 59th Georgia from Anderson’s Brigade moved into that section of Rose woods and the finally the numbers favored the attackers. Lt. Colonel Higgins was wounded and succeeded by Major Lansing. With both the 20th Indiana and 86th NY almost out of ammunition and its left flank in danger Ward’s Brigade was ordered from its line. Considering the ferocity of the fighting the exit was made in good order. Here we see the fresh troops of the 15th Georgia pushing the 86th NY almost to the top of Rose Woods. In the background the battle on Little Round Top is raging. Thanks to the effort by Ward’s Brigade the Union troops on Little Round top faced only one Southern Brigade rather than three. 12” x 20” signed limited edition print(100) with certificate of authenticity Just some of the feedback for Gettysburg Diographs.
