COMPANY L.
When it became evident that more men must be had to make up the maximum required, under the change from infantry to heavy artillery, commissions were given to several men in the old companies to recruit, among them F. A. Sinclair of Com- pany I, and, as he rendered the best account of himself, to him fell the captaincy, and S. Augustus Howe, who had been an excellent soldier in the 24th N. Y. Infantry, was commissioned senior 1st lieutenant. 'Tis said that there was much bickering over the placing of officers in this company, but notwithstand- ing the men gave a first-class account of themselves.
Let a veteran of the company give his own story:
"Some one has said that Company L came from nowhere in particular, but were 'from all over the lots,' which was true in a large measure. Oswego county gave quite a large delegation and Oswego canal a larger one; beyond those they scattered badly, but they were as good a set of men as one could find in a day's march. They were pretty full of ginger sometimes, so much so that profane persons have been known to allude to them as 'Company H-1.' There were some men who would have a good time whether or no. John H. H., Billy G., and others, as a general thing, kept the boys laughing with their wit and nonsense. Even when feet were bloody through blisters and long marches. "John Henry" used to run the company much as though the boys were on the 'raging canawl,' hailing other regiments to know what they were loaded with, or asking them to pass our line over theirs. No Company L man can forget the way he would roar out. 'W-h-o-a, snub her up! Bring them mules on board!' this when the company stopped for rest or for the night. We always had our kits for play when in bar- racks or camp about Washington; football, boxing-gloves, fid- dles and bass viols, with nearly every other musical instrument excepting pianos and church organs (the boys could play them, too) were reached for whenever we had a chance to pause awhile, but when we started for the front they were boxed up and left in Washington."
