In the light of history it is no uncertain fact that the cause of this war was negro slavery. It was not so fully recognized as such at the time, neither party being willing to admit it, the North claiming that they were simply fighting to preserve the Union, while the South con- tended that they were merely seeking their independence. History removes all sham pretenses from both sides and clearly reveals the fact that the subject of the contention was the perpetuation of slavery in the United States.
As we have seen, slaves were held in Tompkins county at least as late as 1820, when the number was fifty. In the year 1799 the population of the state of New York included twenty thousand slaves, but in that year provision was made by the state government for their gradual emancipation, and on July 4, 1827, the last slave in the state was declared forever free. The colored people of the county cele- brated the event at that time at Ithaca. While all the Northern States

voluntarily abolished slavery within their limits early in the century, the institution flourished with increasing vigor in the South, and the antagonism between the two sections, engendered and maintained by the subject of the existence and entension of slavery, led slowly but surely to the terrible War of the Rebellion.
One of the local circumstances which early served to call attention to and agitate this subject in our county was the trial of Robert H. Hyde, the father of the late R. H. S. Hyde, Esq., of the town of Caro- line, who was charged with taking to Virginia and selling a negro slave girl, Eliza, whom he had held here, in violation of the laws which provided for the gradual abolition of slavery in this state and prohibited the removal of slaves to other states to evade this law for their emancipation. In 1805 there had settled in Caroline a small colony from Virginia, including the Hyde and Speed families, who brought their slaves with them. Hyde was indicted and twice tried upon this charge at Ithaca in the year 1825. He escaped convic- tion, being ably defended by Ben Johnson, the most noted lawyer of the county in those years, but the affair served to stir up the rapidly growing anti-slavery sentiment in this county. While the South undertook to defend the institution of slavery as of divine origin, best calculated to subserve the highest interest of the colored race as well as that of their masters, the prevailing sentiment of the North was rapidly growing to condemn it as radically wrong. Still the mass of the Northern people were not prepared before the war to interfere with slavery in the old states where it had been established, but the ques- tion as to permitting it to be introduced and further extended in the new states and territories led to heated and bitter discussion and an increasing enmity between the two sections. The sentiment at the North was, however, divided on the subject, and there were some citi- zens, even in Dryden, who, up to the time of the war, openly defended negro slavery. The writer remembers that Mills Van Valkenburgh, a lawyer of Dryden and afterwards county judge, who taught the Dry- den village district school in about 1855, had such pronounced views upon the subject of tolerating slavery that some of the radical abo- litionists of the village, R. H. Delamater for one, refused to send their children to school under his instruction, although he was everywhere recognized as an excellent teacher and an exemplary citizen.
When John Brown in 1859 made his raid into Virginia to free the slaves and create an insurrection among them in defiance of law, the masses of people in Dryden, as well as elsewhere in the North, con- demned it as a mad and foolish act. Still there was a growing senti-
52

ment in sympathy with him, which was disposed to resist the fugitive slave law requiring the return of runaway slaves to their masters, maintaining that there was a law higher than the law of the land upon that subject, and the readiness with which the soldiers of the North afterwards took up the song :
"John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on, "
demonstrated that this sentiment was not then forgotten.
The presidential campaign of 1856, in which Fremont and Dayton were defeated by James Buchanan, was an exciting time in Dryden, only exceeded by the subsequent election of Lincoln and Hamlin in 1860. While there were never very many colored people residing in the town, the anti-slavery feeling became so intense and prevalent prior to and during the war, and the "Black Republican" majorities given in sympathy with the negroes grew to such an extent, that the town came to be known in those days as " Black Dryden." .
CHAPTER XVIII.
THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.
It is now easy to see in the light of history that in their efforts to preserve and perpetuate the institution of slavery, the Southern States by their attempted secession hastened its doom to speedy abolition. Slavery might have been one of the perplexing subjects of politics to- day had not the crisis been precipitated by the commencement of hostilities in April, 1861.
It will be difficult for succeeding generations to realize with what anxiety and interest the investment and capture of Fort Sumpter and the subsequent progress of the war were watched by the people of Dryden in common with the inhabitants of all of the states of the North. No railroads or telegraph then served to deliver the war news within the town of Dryden. The only mail which was then received was brought by the daily stages from Ithaca and Cortland, meeting at Dryden village at noon. The New York daily papers of the morning would in this way reach Dryden the next day at noon, when the first news was obtained, unless, as was frequently the case, a messen- ger was dispatched by private contributors to Cortland, the nearest railroad and telegraph station in those times, to bring back the latest news late in the evening. Those who remember how anxiously the
53
THE REBELLION.
tidings of the war were watched for, will call to mind with what feel- ings of disappointment the frequent stereotyped response was re- ceived, "All quiet on the Potomac."
The capture of Fort Sumpter by the Confederates served immedi- ately to strengthen and unite the people of the North in their determi- nation to preserve the Union with or without slavery at first, but finally only with the complete abolition of that troublesome institu- tion. For that purpose a large part of the Democratic party, known as " War Democrats," united with the government in its effort to pre- serve the Union and with that determination stood by it until the termination of the war, while the remaining Democrats, who opposed the war, or professed to be indifferent on the subject, were openly denounced and branded as "Copper-heads."
The first volunteers to go into the military service from our town joined some companies organized in Ithaca, which were afterwards united at New York with others to form the 32nd Infantry, with which they went to the front in June, 1861. Among these volunteers was Captain Sylvester H. Brown, who was killed at City Point, Va. This regiment enlisted for only two years, but saw severe service, partici- pating in the battles of West Point, Gaines Mills, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Crompton Gap, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. After their term of two years had expired many of the survivors re-enlisted in other regiments. In the fall and winter of that year the 76th regi- ment was organized, of which companies F. and C. were largely re- cruited from the town of Dryden. This organization had an unfor- tunate beginning, growing out of a personal quarrel between Col. Green and one of his subordinate officers, resulting in the shooting and wounding of the latter, while they were encamped at Cortland. Afterwards the 76th, under Col. Wainwright, did valiant service and took part in the battles of Rappahannock Station, Warrenton, Gaines- ville, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Upperville, Fred- ericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and Mine Run.
The early campaigns of the Union forces in Virginia were not suc- cessful. Such disasters as the battle of Bull Run served to convince the people of the North that greater efforts must be made. War meetings were held in all parts of the county, attended with bands of music and patriotic speakers. At these meetings liberal contributions were made for the aid of the families of such as should go to the front. A senatorial war committee was appointed, of which our late towns- man, Jeremiah W. Dwight, was the member from this county, and a local town committee was selected, consisting of Luther Griswold,

Smith Robertson, Charles Givens, Thomas J. McElheny, and W. W. Snyder.
In the summer of 1862 the 109th regiment was organized, Company F. being largely made up of Dryden volunteers. It was mustered into service Aug. 28, 1862, but was kept on guard duty for the first year and more. Its first fight was in the terrible battle of the Wilderness when more than one hundred of its men were left upon the field of battle. Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor and the battles before Petersburg followed in quick succession, in all of which this regiment made a gal- lant record, but suffered severely, so that when they came to be mus- tered out of the service in June, 1865, there were only two hundred and fifty men left of the twelve hundred which first went into the Wil- derness.
In October, 1862, the 143d regiment, of which one company was made up mostly of Dryden men under Capt. Harrison Marvin, was mus- tered into service. Although this regiment did not see such severe service it had an honorable record and its roll of honor bore the fol- lowing inscriptions : Nansemond, Wauhatchie, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Resaca, Dallas, Kenesaw Mountain, Culpep- per Farm, Peach Tree Ridge, Atlanta and Savannah.
Capt. Geo. L. Truesdell with quite a number of other Dryden men joined early in 1864 the 15th New York Cavarly, which was organized from Aug 8, 1863, to January 14th, 1864, to serve for three years. Nine companies were recruited at Syracuse, one at Elmira, one at Cav- alry Depot, Washington, D. C., and one in the state of New York at large. It was consolidated with the Sixth New York Cavalry June 17th, 1865, and the consolidated force designated the Second Provis- ional New York Cavalry. Col. Robert M. Richardson resigned Jan. 19, 1865, leaving in command Col. John J. Coppinger. The regiment lost by death during its service in killed during action, three officers and eighteen men; of wounds received in action, nineteen men; of dis- ease and other causes, four officers and 129 men ; a grand total of one hundred seventy men. It was at Hillsboro, Upperville, Franklin, Romney, New Market, Front Royal, Newton, Mount Jackson, Pied- mont, Stanton, Waynesboro, Lexington, New London, Diamond Hill, Lynchburg, Snicker's Gap, Ashby's Gap, Winchester, Green Spring, and the Appomattox campaign.
The early enlistments were all volunteers aided and encouraged at first by liberal provisions for the families of those who should enlist, and afterwards by large bonnties in addition, to the soldier himself. Only one draft was made in this town, which was executed in July,
55
DRYDEN SOLDIERS.
1863, according to the terms of which the drafted man himself could hire a substitute to go in his place or, by paying three hundred dol- lars, the government would provide the substitute. A second and third draft was ordered but the supervisors of the county here came to the rescue and hired, at the expense of the county, enough non-resi- dent soldiers to make up, with those who had volunteered, the full quota of the towns of Tompkins county.
We regret that we are not able to make our military record more complete, having given only a brief reference to the companies which were made up almost wholly of Dryden men. Many others were scat- tered through different regiments and in all branches of the service, and we supplement this brief record by the following chapter, which aims to give a complete list of the Dryden soldiers, specifying those who died or were severely wounded in the service.
CHAPTER XVIII.
PERSONAL RECORD OF DRYDEN SOLDIERS.
The preparation of this chapter has involved no small amount of la- bor, and great care has been taken to make it correct and complete. Still there are, doubtless, some errors and omissions ; but the follow- ing data arranged in tabular form will, it is hoped, at least serve as a basis from which a more perfect record shall be made at some time in the future. If happily "grim visaged war" shall never again make its imperative demands upon the town of Dryden, its inhabitants of the rising and future generations will never fully realize what it is to have the lives of the father, brother and sons of the people of the township exposed to the hazards of camp and of battle and sacrificed in the ser- vice of their country.
Thomas J. McElheny, one of the war committee of Dryden who gave his time very fully in those years to the details of filling the quo- tas of soldiers required by the government from this town, relates with pardonable pride the experiences which he had in performing his arduous duties in these matters and bears witness to the liberality and patriotism manifested by the people in sustaining his efforts.
No attempt is made in this chapter to complete the record of non- resident volunteers who were induced by the liberal bounties offerred by the town of Dryden to help to fill out her quota and when Dryden men had removed to other places before their enlistment their names will not be likely to be found in the following table :
