I am looking to try to find out what the 75th NYV was issued as their first longarms. They are listed later in the war as having springfields - But, so many of the other regiments numbered around them received Enfields - that it seems possible that they received something else first and then later got springfields.
Does anybody have a reference or a letter that could shed light on this? I have looked and not found a modern historian that focuses on this regiment.
Any help would be appreciated
