The BUFFALO BARRACKS Roll Call

Posted By: Cliff
Date: 10/10/04

During the period between 1835 and 1846,
regiments of the U.S. Army made several journeys,
in both directions, on the new Erie Canal across
New York State. During their many stops between
Albany and Buffalo, Recruitment Adjutants
conscientiously and successfully enlisted
hundreds of men in need of money and shelter.
These men were previously laborers during the
construction on the Erie Canal, farmers,
blacksmiths, coopers and ex-soldiers from all
over New York State. The enlistment records of
the 1,691soldiers who eventually served at the
Buffalo Barracks can be searched at:
