On the return of the 20th Militia from its three months' service, Col. George W. Pratt received authority to reorganize it at Kingston as a regiment of volunteers, and it was mus- tered in the service of the United States for three years between September 20 and October 20, 1861. December 7, 1861, it received its State numerical designation, and May 24, 1863, the three years' men of the 35th Infantry. At the expiration of its term of service the men entitled thereto were mustered out and the regiment retained in service. November 6, 1864, a new company joined the regiment, taking the letter I.
