Partial Regimental History
This regiment, known as the Seward infantry, recruited in the counties of New York and Chemung and organized at New York
city, March 1, 1862, was mustered into the U. S. service from Nov. 1861, to March, 1862, for three years. Co. C was mustered
out May 8, 1862. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were mustered out at New York city, under Col. Heine, and the veterans and recruits were consolidated on March 4, 1865, into a battalion of three companies.
When the 9th corps was formed in July, 1862, the 103d was assigned to the 1st brigade, 3d division, and moved with the corps, under Maj.-Gen. Reno, on McClellan's Maryland campaign in September. It was heavily engaged at Antietam, losing 117 officers and men in killed, wounded and missing, its severest loss being incurred in the gallant charge at the stone bridge.
