HOSPITALS.
A description of the surroundings of a hospital, during a war, re- quires greater diversity than does the definition of the term. Briefly a hospital was a place set apart for the medical and surgical treatment of diseases and wounds. In the field and during a battle, any convenient place beyond danger-under a tree, beside a brook, a house, church, barn, or shed-became a hospital, and was sometimes designated by a white or red flag or piece of cloth.
FIELD HOSPITALS.
Regimental hospitals were for the treatment of minor ailments
128

and the incipient stages of more obstinate diseases and were located within the encampment of the regiment. Brigade and division hospi- tals were under the supervision of surgeons of a higher grade than the regimental surgeons, and were occupied by patients from the differ- ent regiments belonging to the brigade or division. A corps hos- pital generally existed only after a general battle and until the woun- ded could be transferred to permanent hospitals in the different northern cities, or placed in one general field hospital until they became able to endure transportation. The largest field hospital established during the war was known as Camp Letterman, at Gettysburg, Pa. It was located east of the town, near the railroad, and its rows of canvas houses represented a small town, inhabited by thousands of mutilated soldiers of both armies.
GENERAL HOSPITALS
were for the most part public buildings, stores or warehouses rented for the purpose by the government, and furnished with cots, baths, and all the comforts and appliances of a perfected system. A few hospitals were erected for the express purpose, in different north- ern cities; these were made up of " wards" or large, well-ven- tilated rooms, furnished with a certain number of cots, and in charge of a surgeon hired by the government. A ward master, sister of charity and nurses were his assistants.
General hospitals were for the treatment of disabled men from any part of the army, without regard to branch of service or organi- zation. The sick or wounded most seriously disabled were treated at those general hospitals nearest the army, and if partially recovered and able to endure transportation, then were removed farther north, to make room for more serious cases which might come from the field.
OFFICERS COMMISSIONED ON ENTERING THE SERVICE.
S. Hoosic Mix, Colonel.
Schoharie - Married ; aged 36 ; mustered as lieutenant-colonel at Washington, District of Columbia, August 16, 1861; mustered as colonel, April 26, 1862; " killed in action at Petersburg, June 15, 1864; wounded while leading his brigade in a charge in front of Petersburg, June 15, 1864, and died June 15, 1864."- M. R. Son, Frank G. Grandson, Hoosack.
129
WAR OF THE REBELLION.
Colonel Mix entered the service as a recruiting officer in July, 1861, enlisting men for a regiment of cavalry, under the patron- age of - Van Allen, a wealthy New York gentleman who fur- nished the necessary funds. On the promotion of Van Allen to the rank of brigadier-general, the regimental title of "Van Allen Cav- alry" was dropped and the organization designated "Third New York Cavalry " with Colonel Mix commanding. Subsequently and on several occasions he was offered promotion to rank as brigadier- general but declined, preferring to remain with his regiment. At the time of his death he was temporarily commanding a brigade and leading it in the charge on the enemy at Petersburg. " His body was left on the field and buried by the Rebels. No braver, better soldier ever lived, or died, than Colonel Mix."
John E. Cook, Lieutenant-Colonel.

O., Rutherford, N. J .; carpenter and builder; widower. One child, Mary L. Fake. Lieuten- ant-Colonel Cook was born in Hadley, Mass., August 25, 1829, and removed to Middleburg in 1848. Possessing some military knowl- edge and unlimited patriotism, he enlisted with the first to rendez- vous at Cherry Valley. His ability was at once recognized and he was detailed on recruiting service. After a few days on such duty he returned with a sufficient number of volunteers to entitle him to be mustered as captain. During the occupation of Fredericksburg in 1862, by the Seventy-sixth New York, Captain Cook served as pro- vost marshal under Major C. E. Loring, Military Governor. The just and honorable manner in which the affairs were governed by martial law under the direction of this gentleman elicited much favorable comment and praise from the " Fredericksburg Christian Banner " published at that time. Captain Cook's first battle was the 2d Bull Run, and he followed the fortunes of his regiment through all the principal battles in which it was engaged until he was mustered out

of the service. After the death of Major Grover at Gettysburg he succeeded to the command of the regiment, and was complimented by Brigadier-General Cutter in his report, " for gallantry and coolness." He recovered from the wound received at the Wilderness sufficiently to rejoin his regiment before Petersburg, June 22, 1864. The wound from shell, in the side, received in October following, confined him to the hospital for a long time. Having performed the duties and assumed the responsibilities of colonel of his regiment withont being permitted to assume the rank, he consented to be mustered out at the expiration of his term. After muster out he accepted an ap- pointment under General Doubleday and was retained for several months after the close of the war. He became a resident of Ruther- ford, N. J., in 1876, and identified himself with Custer Post No. 17 of the G. A. R. Having passed three score years of an eventful life, he finds rest and content in the home of his daughter, the only survivor of his family.

ARTILLERY.
A regiment of artillery was a misnomer, so far as concerted action of its companies or batteries were concerned. When such organi- zations were maintained and recognized, the formation consisted of twelve companies, with a maximum number of one hundred and fifty men to each company, which, in artillery phrase, was called a battery. Six guns were required for the full complement of each battery, although a less number often constituted a battery. The loss of one or more guns, or of several men, did not deprive the bat- tery of its title. Sickness or casualties in battle often reduced the working force to one hundred, and in many cases to one-half its orig- inal strength. In light artillery, where a regimental organization existed, the batteries were generally independent of each other in . their movements. In the distribution of troops for field service, each division included a battery, and if it belonged to a regimental organ- ization, its associate batteries would be scattered among three or more corps. Many companies of light artillery were organized in- dependently, and were called independent batteries, and were dis- tributed among the different corps of the army, as was the case with batteries of a regimental organization. Light artillery, as its name implies, followed the division of troops to which it was attached, and was essentially a marching and in some cases a flying branch of the service. Heavy artillery organizations were more permanently located in forts and established defenses, and the regiments were more consolidated. Usually the troops in such organizations were armed and drilled as infantry under preparation to resist an attack at close quarters, while the men of the light artillery, in addition to the battery guns, were each armed with a saber and revolver.
