Scarce ALS by Emory Upton as Colonel of the 121st NYV dated April 5th, 1863 to Charles Evans Asst Adj Gen'ls of the State of NY related to the promotion of a Sergent Davison of the 121st NY. Evidently Davidson has requested of the Govenor a promotion and Upton is saying at this time he has not earned it, though he is a good soldier. He goes on to talk about his process for promotions in the Regiment and how he would act upon this matter. Interestingly enough, Davidson is Andrew Davidson of Co E who would earn promotion to Lt and Capt of the 30th USCT and would earn the Medal of Honor at the Battle of the Crater where he would rally the remants of his regiment and save the Colors during the debacle. Signed as your obedient servant E Upton Col Comdg 121 NYV. Excellent in all accounts. |
