TRIBUTE TO THE "ONESTERS."
BY JOHN K. TYLER.
When men sought the life of our nation And Rebels their work had begun There formed on the banks of the Mohawk That Regiment-" One twenty one." There were men of all trades and professions, There were "Big Jce" and Tim Dacy, too; The people all cheered and they shouted When the boys marched away in their blue.
Brave men to the front were now rushing As streams going out from the fountain, And in one short month we received Our baptismal fire at South Mountain. Although we were not schooled as soldiers, We never had learned how to run; And ours was a record of glory When led by brave COL. UPTON.
-112-
The story of valor is written, -
How they marched, how they fought and they bled; How few there came back without blemish, And the many they left with the dead. From South Mountain to old Appomatox Our battles were more than a score; And they said when we passed in review,- "There's the pride of the fighting 6th Corps."
