OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
While the majority of the inhabitants of Saratoga county who fought in the war served in either the Seventy-seventh or Thirtieth Regiments, the county was represented in other organizations. Among these was
1 The controversy which for years existed as to which brigade was entitled to be called the Iron Brigade, was decided in favor of that to which the Thirtieth Regiment belonged, and it is so recorded in history. The Western Regiments which claimed the title are now known as the " Western Iron Brigade."
2A permanent organization of the regiment was effected at Saratoga Springs June 28, 1886. when the name of "Thirtieth Infantry New York State Volunteer Association" was adopted, On the official list giving the percentage of losses incurred at the battle of Bull Run, the Thir- tieth stands third with nineteen per cent. This regiment is one of the few which received from the United States government a flag of merit.

COLONEL EPHRAIM ELMER ELLSWORTH.
The story of Saratoga county's participation in the war of the Rebel- lion would not be complete without more than a passing mention of the famous Ellsworth Zouaves, or the Eleventh New York Volunteer Infantry, organized in New York city in April, 1861. But before speaking in detail of this regiment, which in itself was not of particu- lar interest to the people of Saratoga county except that it was organ- ized and commanded by Col. E. E. Ellsworth, let us look into the life of the young commander.
Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth was born in the town of Malta April 11, 1837, the son of Ephraim D. Ellsworth. As a boy he served as a clerk in a store at Mechanicville. At the age of sixteen years he went to Troy and continued in mercantile life. But this was not a pursuit to his liking, and he journeyed to New York. Finding competition there too great, in the spring of 1859 he went to Chicago and began the study of the law in the office of J. E. Cone. While pursuing his studies he gained a wonderful knowledge of the manual of arms and became an expert fencer.
All this while he was suffering the pangs of poverty, and almost starvation. Many a night he threw himself on the floor of Mr. Cone's
241
COLONEL ELMER E. ELLSWORTH.
law office, hunger-stricken and wearied to exhaustion. He had organ- ized a company of cadets, and before long Chicago was singing the praises of the Ellsworth Zouaves. So great did the degree of perfection of these Zouaves attain, that in the summer of 1860, in response to many requests, Ellsworth made a tour of the country at their head, scoring an unbroken series of triumphs.
After this tour young Ellsworth became one of the most talked of young men in the country. While on his return to Chicago from the East he met Abraham Lincoln, then a candidate for the presidency. Mr. Lincoln offered Ellsworth a place in his office, and the offer was quickly accepted. After Mr. Lincoln was elected to the presidency Ellsworth received at his hands a commission as lieutenant in the army, and was detailed for special duty in Washington. When the war be- gan he was anxious to enter into active service at once. To do this he therefore resigned his commission as lieutenant, went to New York city and obtained permission of the chief of the metropolitan fire de- partment to recruit a regiment from among the firemen. The request being granted, he sent to Chicago for some of the men of his old Zouave company, and they joined him at once.
The rapidity with which this regiment (the Eleventh New York Vol- unteer Infantry, usually called the New York Zouaves) was recruited is shown by the fact that Ellsworth arrived in New York April 17, 1861, and April 29 the new regiment of eleven hundred men embarked on the steamer Baltic for Washington. They were mustered into service by General Irwin McDowell in the presence of President Lincoln in front of the capitol May 7, the first regiment mustered in "for three years, or during the war," previous enlistments having been for three months.
May 24 the Eleventh was transferred to Alexandria, Va. In that place Colonel Ellsworth, leaving Lieut .- Col. Noah L. Farnham in com- mand, accompanied by Sergeant Frank B. Marshall and a squad of men proceeded to the Marshall house to remove a rebel flag which floated from the top of that building. After sending Sergeant Mar- shall back to the regiment for Company A, he went inside of the hotel, posting one of his escort at the door, another on the first floor, another at the foot of the stairs, and Corporal Frank E. Brownell, of Troy, N. Y., on the third floor. Colonel Ellsworth then ascended to the top of the house to obtain a view of the surroundings and remove the obnox- ious flag. Securing the latter he started to descend the stairs, when 16

he heard the report of a gun. Hastening down, he came around a turn in the stairs just in time to receive the second charge from a double-barelled shotgun in the hands of James W. Jackson, the land- lord of the Marshall house. The gun was aimed at Brownell, who had knocked the gun up.
Hardly had the shot been fired when Corporal Brownell leveled his gun at the assassin and fired, killing him instantly. It was sub- sequently learned that the murderer was crazed with drink, having been on a prolonged debauch.
Many criticisms of Ellsworth have been published, accusing him of tyranny, vanity, undue pride and foolhardiness. But all such criti- cisms, it is now generally believed, had their source either from those who had suffered from a necessary discipline, agreed to by themselves and afterwards violated, or from the friends of these men. Not one surviving member of his Zouaves, who remained faithful to the end, agrees with such criticism. On the other hand, they accord to the heroic Ellsworth unparalleled fixedness of purpose, industry and clear- headedness in all matters pertaining to military affairs. They believe that on the roll of great captains, when the greatest of all wars closed, the name of Ellsworth might have stood second to none, had it not been for his untimely end.
Ephraim D. Ellsworth, father of Col. E. E. Ellsworth, was born in the town of Halfmoon, May 22, 1809. Previous to his nineteenth year he learned the tailor's trade at Waterford and afterwards worked at it in Troy and Jonesville, this county. In 1836 he married Phebe Den- ton of Malta, and located at Mechanicville to carry on his trade, resid- ing there the remainder of his days, excepting ten years spent in the service of the government. November 16, 1861, President Lincoln commissioned him captain in the ordnance department and he was assigned to duty at Fortress Monroe. This was six months after the assassination of his son. Captain Ellsworth soon resigned this position and was placed in charge of the Champlain arsenal at Vergennes, Vt., where he remained about ten years, returning to his home at Me- chanicville in the fall of 1871.
